Which means you probably need an updated version of debootstrap -- the
one in unstable (0.3.3) currently works. There is a version at
backports.org (0.3.2) if you're installing from a debian machine--it's
not the same as what I have so I can't swear it works, but it likekly
does. If you're installing from an rpm-based system, the .rpm's
mentioned in the manual at debian.org are from 2004, so you'll need to
use, eg, alien to convert the .deb to an .rpm to get a recent version.
