Adam, can you update your patch against debootstrap 1.0.39ubuntu0.1 from precise-updates and close this bug in debian/changelog?

Oops forgot to add that in the changelog, I'll re-do that now, thanks Benjamin

Updated patch to reflect precise-updates version and updated changelog to reflect LP

Adam, I have uploaded your debootstap 1.0.39ubuntu0.2 to precise-proposed (with raring changed back to a symlink as the patch tool cannot express symlinks).
