Please do -- please use /usr/share/grml-debootstrap/config has hard coded global
configuration file and /etc/debootstrap/config as the user configurable local
configuration file as off-package file.

Just use my patch with new comment:

# source global configuration file first

and place it before sourcing the (configurable) local configuration file. Then
change the releasing correspondingly.

By "off-package file" I meant that user customization to /etc/debootstrap/config
can be preserved during grml-debootstrap upgrade -- each time I did
grml-debootstrap, I had to come back after some time just to answer "Y" to the
question that my /etc/debootstrap/config need to be replaced. Every
grml-debootstrap user who have some even tiny changes to /etc/debootstrap/config
will get their grml-debootstrap process stopped in the middle waiting for that
answer.

Thanks
