Bug#964248: base-installer: Pass "--extra-suites=unreleased" to debootstrap on ports arches

Yes, I know, but it means that something has to merge the packages etc.
ATM I'm doing it through gross scripts for building hurd CD images, but
that's not really sustainable.

It is when we do not have several versions of the same package, which is
the case for various packages for various ports.

Yes, my idea was to keep things the same way, so installations from
netboot, netinst, CD, local mirror would work the same, and we avoid
seeing installability issues in one of the cases and not the others.
