base-config/00dbootstrap_settings failure

[Richard Hirst <rhirst@linuxcare.com>]

Hi,
  This is on hppa, base-config 1.04 (built myself), debconf 0.9.64.
I'm doing an unstable install, and /root/dbootstrap_settings ends up
containing SUITE='sid' as expected.  base-config was trying to use
stable, so I editted 00dbootstrap_settings to run with -x rather than
-e to see what was happening:
