Hello,
I've hack this patch to fulfill some needs that we had at O.S. Systems
doing Debian based distributions and would like to merge it at d-i to
allow others to use it too. Following patch adds possibility to
specify the debootstrap script to use and include or exclude packages
from base without need to use base_include or base_exclude files.
Does anyone has comments about it?
