Oh dear, I didn't realize that --silent and --quiet in mmdebstrap are the same thing... > I just had a look at the man page of mmdebstrap. It has a > --quiet/--silent option as well.

There is a lot to say for mirroring what mmdebstrap does by just passing --verbose, --silent, --quiet, --debug down, though that does mean bdebstrap would have to change default behavior. Mostly, I prefer the default verbosity of mmdebstrap and was mildly surprised that bdebstrap hard-coded a higher level of verbosity for mmdebstrap. As long as there's some reasonable way to get mmdebstrap's default verbosity level when using bdebstrap, I'm not particularly opinionated in how it is implemented. :) live well, vagrant
