Bug#453407: live-helper: Make it possible to specify package version to install.

[rss at barracuda.es (Raúl Sánchez Siles)]

Package: live-helper
Version: 1.0~a37-2
Severity: wishlist

Hello:

I'm trying to build a CD using experimental and hence unstable. There
are packages present in both branches, but I want to install
experimental. I would like being able to specify which package version
to install for example in the package list at config/chroot_local-packageslists
like this:

package=3.96
or
package(experimental)

I think the first option congruent with aptitude syntaxis is more
convenient.

Currently the only way to do this is using local hooks and due to bug #453360
using local hooks for this is a little painful.

Thanks,
