Howdy,

The third item in the todo list reports that debootstrap is
failing to work for local archives.  This occurs because
dbootstrap invokes it with the path, rather than a URL.  The
following patch should fix this.  As I don't have a system on
which to test it at the moment, could someone else please try it
and report back?
