This one is actually simple. debvm-create conveniently passes all options behind a double dash along to mmdebstrap. It does so after passing its own options. If you pass --variant=custom there, mmdebstrap gets two --variant options and the last one (i.e. yours) wins. > (The `--include=init` option should also be avoided for custom images.) I distill that this is the actual request and retitle the bug accordingly. Helmut
