Of course, it does not work. I resorted to brute force and did the
unthinkable as follows:
--- /usr/lib/debootstrap/functions.orig 2002-11-13 11:53:51.000000000 -0800
+++ /usr/lib/debootstrap/functions 2002-11-13 11:55:00.000000000 -0800

download_main () {
+ MIRRORS=${MIRRORS/,/ }
local m1=${MIRRORS%% *}
progress 0 100 "Downloading Packages file"
progress_next 100
- COMPONENTS=main
+ COMPONENTS="main non-US/main"
export COMPONENTS
for m in $MIRRORS; do
for c in $COMPONENTS; do
Then, I set the script to use mirror_style main, instead of release.
Debootstrap get the following string as the mirror,
MIRROR="http://192.168.2.8/debian,http://192.168.2.8/debian-non-US";.
One day, I will do a proper script for each mirror, instead of this
kludge.
Thanks.
