18 - support setting Debian suite components (like main, contrib,...)
19 through COMPONENTS so it's possible to use a simple 'main' mirror.
20 - support setting aptitude/apt-get options through $DPKG_OPTIONS.
21 - support selection of netinstall vs. local mirror in interactive menu
23 - make sure to ignore /dev/md* devices if not using SW-RAID
24 - do not fail in chrootmirror() when using $ISO variable.
25 - change order of checkconfiguration() so we get the prompt/
26 display for checking configuration again.
27 - Drop 'do not prompt for partition dialog if swraid has been
28 configured already' which doesn't make any sense in most situations
30 - check for mounted target in mkfs() step already instead of mount_target()
31 - use '.. to the debootstrap command' in description of --debopt
32 - chroot-script: put installation of kernel before installing additional
33 packages so installation of kernel doesn't fail if the kernel directory
36 - bump Standard Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).
