Bug#744939: live-build: bootstrap-{c,}debootstrap doesn't clean /etc/hosts

[Denys Gavrysh <deg@ciklum.com>]

Package: live-build
Version: 4.0~alpha33-1
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

I've encountered small issue in my new wheezy live system created with
lasest live-build:

user@debian:~$ sudo -i
sudo: unable to resolve host debian
root@debian:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost
::1		localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0		ip6-localnet
ff00::0		ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1		ip6-allnodes
ff02::2		ip6-allrouters

root@debian:~# cat /etc/hostname
debian
root@debian:~#

I have no files in includes.chroot and no customisations at all,
only the package lists.

Otherwise, there is the correct /etc/hosts inside the running system prepared
with live-build 3.0.5-1:

127.0.0.1	localhost debian

Also, local chroot/etc/chroot file is present but empty in this case.

I've found that stable version of live-build is forcibly cleaning
/etc/hosts in /usr/lib/live/build/bootstrap_cdebootstrap:

140         # Deconfiguring cdebootstrap configurations
141         rm -f chroot/etc/apt/sources.list
142         rm -f chroot/etc/hosts

and /usr/lib/live/build/bootstrap_debootstrap:

144         # Deconfiguring debootstrap configurations
145         rm -f chroot/etc/hosts

So, the script chroot_hosts performs correctly later in the build process,
and live-config is able to create proper /etc/hosts during the live system boot.

But the bootstrap scripts from live-build 4.0 are written in Python 3 and
don't take care about /etc/hosts.
