It is on my installation, at least:

  % grep exports /var/lib/dpkg/info/*conffi*
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/nfs-kernel-server.conffiles:/etc/exports
  %

I do not know, but have a wild guess.  When using several APT sources,
and debootstrap only being able to use one of them, an upgrade is
needed to get local replacement packages installed into the chroot.

I tried to merge your latest changes into my tree, but ran into a baz
problem.  I haven't upgraded baz from the sarge version.

I now get this error when trying to use 'baz diff':

  % baz diff matt.zimmerman@canonical.com/ltsp--main--0
  * looking for matt.zimmerman@canonical.com/ltsp--main--0--patch-151
    to compare with
  * comparing to matt.zimmerman@canonical.com/ltsp--main--0--patch-151
  PANIC: duplicate ids in MOD tree, status --lint

I got to this point by using 

  % baz switch pere@hungry.com--2005/ltsp--fixes--0
  % baz merge matt.zimmerman@canonical.com/ltsp--main--0
  [...]
  % emacs debian/changelog debian/control server/ltsp-build-client

  % baz diff
  # Proved to be broken, see above
  % baz diff matt.zimmerman@canonical.com/ltsp--main--0

  % baz status
  Tree is not lint clean. Unable to continue past this point
  These files would be source but lack inventory ids (`baz add' perhaps?):

Any clues on what is wrong, and how to fix it are most welcome. :)
