Bug#225344: base-config: aptitude dependency breaks debootstrap and pbuilder

[Teemu Ikonen <tpikonen@pcu.helsinki.fi>]

Package: base-config
Version: 2.03
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #225344


Hi,

Note that this bug breaks debootstrap (aptitude is not installed,
base-config can't be configured, debootstrap exits with an errorcode) and
consequently pbuilder, which expects debootstrap to succeed. 

IMHO, front-end programs like aptitude should not be included in the
debootstrap installed packages. I hope a better solution to get the needed
packages to the installer is found.

Best wishes,

Teemu
