Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.9
Severity: normal

Hi,

debootstrap fails when supplied an empty set of packages to include:

/usr/sbin/debootstrap --include= --exclude=adduser,apt-utils \
 --arch powerpc etch /tmp/aap3 http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian
E: unrecognized or invalid option --include=

This works successfully on etch so I think it's a regression introduced
in 1.0.9 with this change:
  * Error out on unrecognized options to avoid invalid options to be 
    recognized as arguments.

We use debootstrap in a shell script where it is called like this:
/usr/sbin/debootstrap --include="$INCLUDEDEBS" --exclude="$EXCLUDEDEBS" \
        --arch "$ARCH" etch "$CHROOTDIR" "$DEBMIRROR"
and I think it's quite reasonable if $INCLUDEDEBS is set to an empty
string if I don't want to include any extra debs. I don't see problems
with the existing behaviour so I hope that can be resurrected.


cheers,
Thijs

Ok, clear - I'm closing the issue then. I've updated our scripts.
