I only noticed Henning Sprang message because I browsed the BTS.
Not sure whether I overlooked it in my email or that he should have explicitly
cc 346304-submitter as well.

  I will reply briefly because I don't  have enough time for a thourough reply.
Hopefully you would be able to extract useful information from my short reply.

  I used debootstrap 0.3.3, both before and after applying my patch locally. I 
believe 
that 0.3.3 is from testing. Not sure whether it is newer then the one at sarge. 
From
memory,  I deduced that debootstrap is having problems with the original code 
in fai
because I got an error message about debootstrap not recognising the string 
unstable. I could be wrong. I might also be wrong in my further conclusion that 
this is
due to the fact that there is no mention of unstable neither in debootstrap.8 
man page 
nor in /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts:

$ ls /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/
breezy  hoary.buildd  sarge.buildd      warty         woody.buildd
etch    potato        sarge.fakechroot  warty.buildd
hoary   sarge         sid               woody

  I skimmed quickly at 
fai-server_2.9-multi-distribution:make-fai-nfsroot:call_debootstrap().
Since it looks to me similar to the version in the original fai I conckuded 
that it, too,
will fail  in the same way that I described above. I haven't actually tried it 
nor do I have 
much knoweldge in debootstrap internals. I might be totally wrong.

  As a side note, is there a reference for fai-server*multi-distribution 
somewhere in fai's
home page? Does it have its own home page?
