I've done the doclifter thing and updated the XML, generated a new manpage and compared it with the old. I'm assuming you don't want the build-dependency on docbook-xsl so I've included a patch to create a README that documents how to use xsltproc to generate the manpage. (Note that the man page *diff* is larger than the entire XML file!) > Please, try to provide the patch and I'll try to handle it as soon as > possible. Four patches attached. debootstrap.diff - the actual change to close this bug. README.diff - create a small README that doesn't have to be packaged with the binaries, only included in the source. debootstrap.8.xml.diff - creates the XML, generated from doclifter and including changes to cover the new option related to this bug. debootstrap.8.diff - probably unnecessary but demonstrates the level of changes incurred through doclifter that made it impossible to submit those as a patch to the man page itself. You probably don't want to apply that. There shouldn't be any need to change the contents of debian/* as neither of the new files need to be part of the debootstrap installation, only the source. I'm not sure how you create the source for debootstrap - presumably some form of RCS-dependent foo-buildpackage. I'm assuming that any file present in RCS will be included in the debootstrap_1.0.4.tar.gz so that is where I would expect to find README and debootstrap.8.xml in case of future changes. Please review the manpage changes - I think it makes for a slightly better manpage due to the whitespace and bold improvements. YMMV.
