[Bug 1462787] [NEW] Feature request: support for pulling packages from -security and -updates

[michagogo]

*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

It doesn't really make sense that when using debootstrap to create an
Ubuntu <chroot|container|directory|installation|whatever>, old versions
of packages will be installed, rather than the latest versions from the
archives. The first thing that you'd need to do would be to immediately
go and upgrade everything, which is just unnecessary duplication of
downloading and installing. An Ubuntu installation (for example,
Precise) created by the current version will be extremely insecure.

** Affects: debootstrap (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public

** Information type changed from Public to Public Security
