Package: debhelper Severity: normal Since bug #571136 was fixed we no longer actually need a devices.tar.gz to build our tarball. However we can't just checkout the debootstrap script and call directly because it still requires the tarball. One possible fix is attached bellow, although a more thorough cleaning could be done:
--- Subject: [PATCH] debootstrap: fail gracefully copying devices.tgar.gz The devices tarball only exists if you build the source code (as root) before invoking the script. Since bug #571136 was fixed the --second-stage doesn't even use the devices tarball so we can afford to fail gracefully when it doesn't exist. In addition this allows us to call the script under -e conditions from a straight checkout which is useful in other cases.
