The tar bug is fixed; the inability to debootstrap lucid on an old kernel remains. Is Canonical likely to provide a version of debootstrap that knows how to use packages from lucid-updates during the initial bootstrapping pass? I adjusted my hacked debootstrap to get supplemental packages from lucid-updates rather than lucid-proposed, and that seems to work OK. Is there somewhere that I should post that patch for consideration -- with the understanding that it's half-baked (for instance, it breaks debootstrap for lenny, which doesn't have a corresponding lenny-updates)?
