debconf'll go into testing in a couple of days. Unless Joey keeps
uploading every day, of course...

Just ask nicely. What's the deal with it? (debootstrap installs packages,
and hacks around whatever configuration it can, particular files and
such should go in base-files, or somewhere, really)

I'm not seeing why this should be done here instead of in dbootstrap?
