This one makes problems, too:

sh-2.05b# debootstrap --second-stage
cat: /usr/lib/debootstrap/suite: No such file or directory

sh-2.05b# debootstrap --second-stage
cat: /usr/lib/debootstrap/arch: No such file or directory

sh-2.05b# debootstrap --second-stage
E: No such script: /usr/lib/debootstrap/suite-script


Where can I find those files? They are not in debootstrap package, I 
can't find them in any debian package when I look here: 
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages.en.html

Perhaps they need to be generated somehow?
