I tested v0.1.0, and got it working for Sid (but not Sarge).  It
looked good to me, just using it.  I need Woody support as well to be
able to use it with Skolelinux.

When installing Sarge, I got the following error:

  P: Configuring package bash
  P: Configuring package debianutils
  P: Configuring package initscripts
  P: Configuring package passwd
  P: Configuring package gzip
  P: Configuring package sysvinit
  P: Configuring package modutils
  P: Configuring package dselect
  I: Installing important packages...
  P: Unpacking package apt
  P: Configuring package apt
  E: Couldn't install root!
  
The following patch had to be applied to get it compiling on Woody
with gcc 2.95.4:
