[Bug 671126] Re: --keyring argument breaks qemu-debootstrap

[Alex Chiang]

After examining the debootstrap --help output and man page, it seems
like all debootstrap arguments are in the form of:

--option=value

I don't see anywhere that: '--option value' is accepted (even if
debootstrap implementation can correctly parse it).

Since qemu-debootstrap is merely supposed to be a wrapper around real
debootstrap, and there is no way for it to know if the user is passing:

--option value vs. --singleton-option

there thus is no sane way to add support for '--option value' handling
in qemu-debootstrap. The only sensible solution is to ensure that we
call qemu-debootstrap with '--option=value' arguments.

I am attaching v2 of a debdiff, which now properly sets the series to
natty, not maverick.
