Bug#895412: debootstrap: Cannot find dpkg on NetBSD (or other OSes using pkgsrc)

[Hideki Yamane <henrich@iijmio-mail.jp>]

package: debootstrap
severity: minor

Hi,

 On NetBSD, we can install dpkg via pkgsrc but it's under /usr/pkg/bin

netbsd# ./debootstrap: /usr/bin/dpkg: not found
netbsd# which dpkg
/usr/pkg/bin/dpkg

 And now dpkg is specified with absolute path as below.
 
> if in_path dpkg && \
>      dpkg --print-architecture >/dev/null 2>&1; then
>         HOST_ARCH=$(/usr/bin/dpkg --print-architecture)
> elif in_path udpkg && \      
>      udpkg --print-architecture >/dev/null 2>&1; then
>         HOST_ARCH=$(/usr/bin/udpkg --print-architecture)


 Is there any reason to do so? Just use dpkg is something wrong?
