Bug#595364: Assumes /etc/fstab exists (it doesn't in cdebootstrap).
Package: linux-base
Version: 2.6.34-1~experimental.2
Severity: minor
I had cdebootstrap generate a squeeze chroot, and installed a kernel
into it. When I then ran "dpkg-reconfigure -a -plow" in the chroot,
this package borked the dpkg-reconfigure run because /etc/fstab
doesn't exist.
+ chroot cdebootstrap-amd64 dpkg-reconfigure -a -plow

This is an unusual case and I can work around it by creating an empty
fstab before running dpkg-reconfigure, but you might want to consider
adding a test for /etc/fstab's existence.
