Bug#95921: superformat isn't on root.bin or installed by debootstrap

[David Whedon <dwhedon@debian.org>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2001-05-01
Severity: grave

dbootstrap attempts to execute /target/bin/superformat.  debootstrap has not
installed the package fdutils where superformat would be found.  One of the
following is probably a good idea:

1. have debootstrap install fdutils, but since it is priority optional that
probably doesn't make sense unless it is conditional on the --boot-floppies
command line switch. Interestingly slink and potato versions of debootstrap
install fdutils.

2. include superformat on root.bin.  I'd rather have debootstrap include it
that put it on root.bin since we need to limit what goes into root.bin and
superformat can be pulled onto the system later.
