Bug#76244: 76244 reassigned to debootstrap




Since we are using debootstrap for the woody base system install, this bug is
being re-assigned to debootstrap.

After looking at debootstrap and not seeing any obvious space checks I tried to
debootstrap to a floppy.  It fails.

root@ruff:/# debootstrap woody /floppy/ http://ftp.debian.org/debian/
trying to get http://ftp.debian.org/debian//dists/woody/Release
trying to get
http://ftp.debian.org/debian//dists/woody/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz

gunzip:
/floppy///var/state/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian__dists_woody_main_binary-i386_Packages:
No space left on device
root@ruff:/#

I don't know if later debootstrap parses the Packages files to see if there is
room for the base.  If so then the above failure may be something we can live
with as most people won't be trying to bootstrap onto something that can't fit
the Packages file.
