Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.115 Severity: normal It is known that debootstrap first extracts packages without writting to dpkg database using "dpkg-deb" or "ar" and then unpacks and configures packages using more high-level methods.
I will refer to that low-level stage (when we extract packages using "dpkg-deb" or "ar") as extract stage. Manual page says: "--include=alpha,beta Comma separated list of packages which will be added to download and extract lists." So, it follows from manual page that --include=alpha will add a package to set of packages, which are extracted at extract stage. But experiment shows that this is not true. So, please either fix debootstrap or its manual page. Same for --exclude. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages debootstrap depends on: ii wget 1.20.3-1+b1 Versions of packages debootstrap recommends: ii arch-test 0.16-1 ii debian-archive-keyring 2019.1 ii gnupg 2.2.17-3 Versions of packages debootstrap suggests: pn squid-deb-proxy-client <none> pn ubuntu-archive-keyring <none> -- no debconf information
