3 * Move the apt cache removal function to a later point of execution
4 so custom scripts still have access to the Debian packages.
5 * Display executed debootstrap cmdline when running it.
6 * Slightly improve checks for grub-install/update-grub and do
7 no set full path to the binaries.
8 * Revert "Updated grml-debootstrap parameter handling" which
9 breaks the way grml-debootstrap used to work. Instead:
10 * Introduce option --nopackages to skip installation of packages
11 defined in /etc/debootstrap/packages.
12 * Support config variable RM_APTCACHE to allow disabling removal

88 The "thanks to gebi for the bugreports and feedback" release. :)
89 * Install busybox in kernel stage to be able to debug initramfs
91 * Check whether we are installing into a directory in stage mkfs
92 so we don't skip if the target is already mounted.

103 * Apply patch by Zoran Dzelajlija which addresses the partition
104 calculation problem when installing to /dev/cciss/c0d0*. Thanks!

108 * Avoid duplicate 'Running ... on a directory, nothing to mount.'
110 * Do not continue execution if provided mirror doesn't work.
