thanks a lot, i've applied it.

bonus points if the diff would include the commit header next time, so
we can merge it and the changelog will list it as yours (rather than me
applying patches).

both removals seem reasonable to me.

yes.

yep; what you get with debootstrap is already included.

"firewall tools" that 'guard' some sort of server services do not make
sense, yes. I'd remove them. if a user really needs this during a rescue
session, he can just apt-get it.

of course. official images will never have packages neither from contrib
nor from non-free. however, for builds people do on their own, it's
great to support this as well by, just as you did, include them
conditionally.

Thanks Ian,
Daniel
