Hello,

I appreciate your work, but I think your approach is too complex. This
issue can be solved by supplying '--debootstrap-options
"--include=apt-transport-https"' to lb config on the command line or in
auto/config. If you want that to be the default, I am sure this can be
set somewhere in the source, but I wouldn't include that in an
"official" release.

Including apt-transport-https in the bootstrap stage ensures that it
does not fail because of https-repositories. Debootstrap uses only the
main repository, which is non-https by default. This eliminates the need
to patch the sources.list files.

Bye,

Andreas
