(Brian, shout if you don't want private copies of list mail.)
I wonder if this is something to do with the fact that man-db recently
got a series of security updates? Is debootstrap perhaps getting md5sums
from stable's main Packages file, but downloading some of the packages
themselves from security.debian.org?
Just random late-night hypothesizing, feel free to ignore me ...
