And for the people who loves HOWTO (% : ordinary user, # : MUST be done as 
root):

% cd /tmp
% tar xzvf bf-common.tar.gz
# mkdir /spare/debian-root
# cd /spare/debian-root
# tar xzvf /tmp/common/base2_2.tgz
# chroot /spare/debian-root /bin/bash

Well, perl-base seems to work, can anyone remind areas where it *may* fail so I can test?

data-dumper is apparently missing from "your" base (it should not). The bug seems to be on ftp.debian.org, where the package is missing, I copy the maintainer of data-dumper for more info.
