Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.89
Followup-For: Bug #866697

Dear Maintainer,

This may be an artifact of the recent transistion to stable. The
downloads seem to work for some parts of the boot strap:


debootstrap --include \
initramfs-tools,aufs-tools,linux-image-amd64,busybox-static,locales \
--arch amd64 stable /mnt/NFSRats/cs400/2017-Jun-30B.nfs-img \
