Hello everybody,

I read aproximately three quarters of the thread, plus some of the reference
documentation, and I agree that there is altogether a good agreement and that
objections are adequately answered.

Moreover, the patch set discussed here introduces the option "--no-merged-usr"
to keep the old behaviour of debootstrap.

So I think that Geert's objections are either answered or not valid.

Have a nice day,

Charles
