Also copied was debootstrap's --arch and --include handling; even
duplicating the bug where you have to say "--arch i386" (with a space)
and "--include=foo,bar" (with an =). There even seems to have been a bug
introduced during the copying; debootstrap has:

]   --include*)
]     additional="$(echo $1 | cut -f2 -d"="|tr , " ")"
]     shift 1
]     ;;
]   --exclude*)
]     exclude="$(echo $1 | cut -f2 -d"="|tr , " ")"
]     shift 1
]     ;;

Someone involved in rpmstrap-0.1 evidently decided using lowercase
variables in some places was unacceptably inconsistent and changed
that to:

]           --include*)
]               ADDITIONAL="$(echo $1 | cut -f2 -d"="|tr , " ")"
]               shift 1
]               ;;
]           --exclude*)
]               ADDITIONAL="$(echo $1 | cut -f2 -d"="|tr , " ")"
]               shift 1
]               ;;

making --exclude work the same as --include, up until rpmstrap-0.4,
where they were changed to INCLUDES and EXCLUDES instead.

rpmstrap-0.1 set an UNPACK_TARBALL variable based on an --unpack-tarball
using the same code as debootstrap; but UNPACK_TARBALL is never actually
used; support for it is only implemented in rpmstrap-0.2.
