I've got an idea how to do it without any extra args. What
if:
* we find a hookdir arg
* we then look for a file named sid/woody/potato
or whatever in that hookdir, and if found use
that instead of the default one for debootstrap?
I am envisioning a given hookdir as containing the full
definition of a complete private release, so this seems
reasonable (to me at least).
If you like the idea, I'll code it. Shouldn't be difficult
at all.
