The debootstrap installed today should do this correctly.

s///i isn't actually documented in the sed manpage, so I'm not sure
where it comes from, whether it's standard or an extension or what.
Should be pretty easy to add: just put a case 'i': before the case 'I':.
Normal sed supports both s///i and s///I, so I've switched debootsrap
to use the capital I.
Cheers,
