Absolutely agree. I didn't know its impact on grml-debootstrap normal usage.

The revert is absolutely necessary. However, the changes in

http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-debootstrap.git;a=commit;h=7cc268e168259a681c0244f9d73a28b7dc4d3769

is a over kill. I.e., only the revert in config file is all it take to
restore the normal grml-debootstrap behaviour. Or, to make it clear, state
that package installation and pre-seeding are enabled by default in the
default config file. This way, power users can still benefit from the
flexibility.

Sorry for responding late, mika. would you take care of it please?

Thanks
