There is no --mirror-bootstrap-security option. This was (it is
corrected in git) a left-over from the rename of --mirror-bootstrap* to
--mirror-chroot*.

it's almost too easy to explain:
lh_bootstrap* uses --mirror-bootstrap
lh_chroot* uses --mirror-chroot*
lh_binary* uses --mirror-binary*
:)
if LH_BINARY_INDICES=enabled, then --mirror-binary* is what is ending up
in the binary image(s).

this is a temporary bug in git tree only. if you use the current release
(1.0~a42), everything is fine.

not wrt/ indices handling, but with config handling (only in git). same
with the other settings, as this is caused by the same config handling bug.
