Bug#768445: debootstrap: fails when called with --include=a,b,..

[Teemu Ikonen <tpikonen@gmail.com>]

Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.64
Severity: normal

debootstrap dies with an obscure error when called with the --include
option which has more than a couple of packages:

$ sudo /usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch=mips --foreign --no-resolve-deps \
--variant=minbase --verbose \
--include=wireless-tools,wwwconfig-common,xauth,xdelta,xml-core,xz-utils
wheezy /tmp/strap http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian

When given a similar set of arguments, cdebootstrap works perfectly.
