Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.141
Severity: wishlist

This is a true wishlist report for user convenience. Please don't touch 
before the trixie release.

Currently, /etc/fstab is initialized with a plain "UNCONFIGURED 
FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM" line.

Normal Debian systems have this:


------
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# systemd generates mount units based on this file, see systemd.mount(5).
# Please run 'systemctl daemon-reload' after making changes here.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

------

As someone who is having a hard time writing proper fstab entries after 
30 years of Unix experience, may I suggest something in this direction 
that might be helpful in filling the file, maybe:

------
# UNCONFIGURED /etc/fstab FOR BASE SYSTEM CREATED BY DEBOOTSTRAP
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
------

Thanks for your consideration. Should you decide to stay with the 
original wording, I'm fine with that. I have still a few years left to 
learn how to write a proper fstab file.

Greetings
Marc
