Hi, I'm sorry that I did not see it before sending the bug report... Obviously, it simply a matter to modify the /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/ in the intird file system in such a way that the libdb4.2 package is installed.
I only modified the sarge script in the above directory, and only added the needed package to the list for the 386 architecture. That because I have no way to try other release and/or architectures. You'll find the patch for the /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/sarge script attached to this mail. Thanks again -- Leo "TheHobbit" Cacciari
