Package: dfsbuild
Version: 0.99.2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

cdebootstrap saves the Release file as _dists_.Release, which causes
dfsbuild to break. Changing Release to _dists_.Release in
Actions/Mirror.hs appears to resolve the problem.

Would it make sense to use another tool instead of cdebootstrap when you
are building the mirror? It seems that the call to cdebootstrap in
Mirror.hs is only to set up a mirror, but I can't see that cdebootstrap
makes any promises about what it calls the Release file. But i'd never
even heard of a .hs file until yesterday so what would I know :)

Also, the default packages lists are wrong for etch (testing)... a few
of them (ntfstools, pnpbios-tools, lvm10) don't exist there and it
breaks. It would nice if it did a validation or something really early
on and informed the user of all the packages which aren't available...
or maybe this is more related to cdebootstrap
