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)?
