Bug#547957: installing base system: debootstrap sudo not found

[Peter Palfrader <weasel@debian.org>]

Package: debian-installer
Version: daily 20090222
Severity: important

Hi,

I tried to install kfreebsd-i386 into a kvm domain.  I booted from this
image:
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/kfreebsd-i386/20090922-10:20/monolithic/mini.iso

Installing the base system failed with this in the syslog:

debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap:
debootstrap: line 1:
debootstrap: sudo: not found
debootstrap: 

Note that / has neither sudo, nor dpkg.

Applying this patch to functions helped:
