It looks like this all works just fine in base-config 1.06 -- very nice.
I wouldn't have brought this up if I had noticed that powerpc testing
base-config is stuck at 1.0. The apt-conf bit is a very nice touch. 

The apt-setup/distribution stuff doesn't quite work right. I believe
this is because woody (set from SUITE in dbootstrap_settings) isn't one 
of the settings in the template. 00dbootstrap sets apt-set/distribution 
to woody, then 30apt-setup resets it to stable (the default). Should 
dbootstrap be setting the suite to testing or should base-config
recognize woody (potato, sid, etc.)? 

Also after apt-setup -probe is run, the screen isn't fully redrawn 
for the 
        [ ] Add another apt source? 
prompt. In particular, the buttons and borders aren't drawn or visible 
(at least until you hit tab for the buttons). Pretty much all you get 
is a green screen, the text for the prompt, and the help text. I assume
this is because we've bailed out of pseudo-graphics mode while we're
probing the sources. Either we need to re-initialize the graphics or
redirect the text from the probe. Of course, maybe I just have an old
version of some library?

Thanks,

Stephen
