Re: Add debootstrap to dependencies?
Hi,
You may have the potato branch in your CVS working directory, the
Depends like you show is more similar (but not identical to) potato
boot-floppies.
I'm happy to just end the discussion here. Though I'd rather we agree
on the status of boot-floppies dependancies. We can agree to disagree,
I guess, it is wierd though.

I feel like a broken record.

Description: Scripts to create the Debian installation system
This package is for developers wishing to build the Debian
installation system on their own. It allows you to create a custom
Debian installation system on floppy disk or other media.

Users wishing to install Debian do not need this package. They should
go to http://www.debian.org/releases/ for information on how to
download or procure installation materials.

Happy hacking :-)
