Sorry, I've to revert this change. This change actually *breaks* the way grml-

needed.

Absolutely agree. I didn't know its impact on grml-debootstrap normal usage.
 
Therefore I reverted the patch and implemented --no-packages in version
0.34 instead.

The revert is absolutely necessary. However, the changes in

http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-debootstrap.git;a=commit;h=7cc268e168259a681c0244f9d73a28b7dc4d3769

is a over kill. I.e., only the revert in config file is all it take to restore the normal grml-debootstrap behaviour. Or, to make it clear, state that package installation and pre-seeding are enabled by default in the default config file. This way, power users can still benefit from the flexibility.

Sorry for responding late, mika. would you take care of it please?

Thanks
