Hm, I'm not sure.

If you drop locales from DEBOOTSTRAP_OPT: do you see the generation
of locales twice as well?

Oh, so configuring /etc/debootstrap/packages doesn't work for you?
Or just isn't it what you want?

Ok great, so I can merge your branch into our master branch and
release a new grml-debootstrap version? (I'll be working on some
grml-debootstrap stuff in the next few days anyway, but currently I'm
concentrating on releasing grml 2008.11-rc1 so I'm quite busy)

Ahhhh, alright. :)
