Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.81

Hello,

The documentation says

       --exclude=alpha,beta
              Comma separated list of packages which will be removed from download and extract lists.  WARNING: you can and  proba‐
              bly will exclude essential packages, be careful using this option.

but this doesn't seem to work: I seem to be unable to remove
"Priority: required" packages with this. E. g. after debootstrapping
sid, it is perfectly possible and reasonable to remove things like
initscripts, sysv-rc, or lsb-base. They purge without any problem.
However, I cannot debootstrap without those:

| $ debootstrap --verbose --variant=minbase --exclude=initscripts,lsb-base  --print-debs sid /tmp/sid

This is true even with --no-resolve-deps.

I also tried this patch
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557322#24
with and without --no-resolve-deps.

Ultimately these packages shouldn't be "Priority: required" of course
(at least the SysV stuff should soon go away), but if someone knows
what they are doing, or for experiments --exclude should be applied
after dependency and "required" resolution, not before.

Thanks for considering,

Martin
