the patch works perfectly, I hope it will be included in jessie+1 you can roughly apply the patch on debootstrap 1.0.66 with:
patch -r- /usr/sbin/debootstrap 668001.patch patch -r- /usr/share/debootstrap/functions 668001.patch and press enter to any question after patching I can install a new system using sysvinit-core with: debootstrap --exclude=systemd,systemd-sysv /mnt http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ I must exclude not only systemd-sysv but also systemd, because it does not remove some configuration file on purge and will leave dirty the just installed system, but I will submit another bug report for that ciao P.S.: the preseed/late_command does not apply to debootstrap and will leave the system dirty until the systemd bug is not resolved -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
