Could you use the "Codename" field from Release to normalize the suite name?  That should work even when the meaning of "stable" changes. (Which makes me wonder: does debootstrap check that the suite it is asked to install is either in the Release file's Suite or Codename field?) Ansgar

tract the right part is quite error-prone. (As Julien notes and I agree.) Quite a lot of tools in Debian got this wrong, see for example CVE-2013-1051. As far as I understand, splitting `InRelease` into data and detached signature is also what `apt` does these days. Ansgar

I've reverted the priority of "apt" back to "important" for now. Ansgar

riants. On the d-i side, I hope this doesn't break anything as debootstrap's default variant should not be affected by these changes, unless d-i can also install a "minbase" variant? And just for the record: a system with no "init" should have a "policy-rc.d" policy
