Bug#563647: debootstrap: manpage neglects complete path for --unpack-tarball
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.20
Severity: normal
The manual page ought to mention that the option --unpack-tarball
needs a complete path to the archive created by --make-tarball.
All the more so since this contrasts to the lack of such prerequisite
for the creation with --make-tarball.
It would also do no harm to mention that the tarball created
with --make-tarball is constructed as a gzip'ed tar archive,
completely ignoring however the user decides to name the
intended file.
