Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.35

Follow up on the report I just submitted.

> # /usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch=amd64 squeeze /mnt/deb 
> /http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian
> E: Couldn't work out current architecture

Note that kludging the debootstrap script at line 402 as follows:

else
#       error 1 WHATARCH "Couldn't work out current architecture"
        ARCH="amd64"
fi

results in a successful install. This is not a system with dpkg installed.
(There is no convenient rpm of it in the CentOS 5.6 or RPMforge
repositories.) In any case the --arch=amd64 flag should be accepted, as the
help screen says of it "use if no dpkg."
