one question, do these patches patch debootstrap to include the
relevant filesystem's -progs package? eg xfsprogs, reiserfsprogs
etc. if not the first boot may fail miserably when the fsck wrapper
can't find /sbin/fsck.{xfs,reiserfs} (in xfs' case its a copy of
/bin/true, i don't know about reiser).
