Well, hopefully testing versions earlier so we can ensure it actually
works. And won't we have to hack debootstrap so that at install time
one can point debootstrap to this tarball (local file and net I
guess).
Also we're going to need to add the interface to driving this from
dbootstrap.

Yah, looks like the mechanics of this are worked out. We just need a
volunteer to do it, right?
