Package: debootstrap Version: 0.3.3.1 Severity: normal
If I have not misunderstood how the package operates, this might be something worth fixing before etch release. It appears the legal values for "suite" are determined by the entries in /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/. I notice several things; the first is the most important: 1) etch is a symlink to sid. The correct value now would be testing, and on release it will be stable, or not a symlink at all. 2) there is no entry for testing. I think this means one can't easily make a testing chroot, and also that I don't get the benefit of the local files I have cached for testing. 3) Some of the entries are for versions that are quite old, or that I just don't recognize. Desired state: 1) etch gets the correct stuff. 2) a testing script exists. 3) perhaps clean some of the old stuff, if you think it wise.
