hmm... I don't think it is the "additional packages" that matters. The
"stage reconfigure" (re)generates locales. This requires the 'locales'
packages installed beforehand, normally in the additional packages
list. Does Debian generates locales when installing the 'locales'
package?

Actually, I installed the 'locales' package in the debootstrap phase:

  DEBOOTSTRAP_OPT='--include=debconf-utils,locales,pciutils
--exclude=nano,tasksel,tasksel-data,iptables'

So if you can't duplicate the error, maybe this is the cause.

Oh, I didn't make it clear:

	Apart from this, everything is working fine.

I meant everything is fine, having applied the new patch. I was
waiting for you thinking that you are too busy doing something else.
Sorry for the confusion. :-)
