sid netinst broken due to pool depends

[Joseph M. Deming]

pretty sure it's broken due to dependencies.  I started seeing the issue 
yesterday, changed mirror to ftp.us.debian.org and saw same results.  
still seeing it today.


busybox fails to install due to dependency on libperl packages which 
then depend on perlapi-5.14.2.


but we have perlapi-5.18.1 provided by perl-base 5.18.1-2.  i use a 
netinst image from about 3 months back, and, no, this isn't technically 
a netinst issue itself, i think the image is working as intended.  but i 
never know where to file these dependency bugs, so i'm mailing here =\  
it is somewhat grave since netinst is basically broken in sid.

Bug#637684: Confirm Still Prevalent In Debian Sid

[Joseph M. Deming]

almost positive i'm seeing the same thing here in Sid with vanilla 
install in chroot environment.  i swear my grub-install script used to 
work, here's some evidence:


grub-install /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD800AAJS-18TDA1_WD-WMAM9RD59819
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for 
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD800AAJS-18TDA1_WD-WMAM9RD59819.  Check your 
device.map.

cat /boot/grub/device.map (in chroot)
(hd0)/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD800AAJS-18TDA1_WD-WMAM9RD59819

not sure how more exact that could be.  for the record, grub-install 
/dev/sda worked, but due to automated build scenario this is not really 
ideal here.


grub-mkdevicemap manually seems to re-create that same file also
