  Perfect.  I feel slow for not thinking of that.  Right now I've
 got:

##
#  Command definitions.
##
#
# The "debootstrap" and "rpmstrap" commands are hardwired, but if you
# wish to alter the commands invoked when using the "--copy" + "--tar"
# options you can adjust these two settings:
#
# --copy:
# copy-cmd = /bin/cp -a $src/* $dest
#
# --tar:
# tar-cmd  = /bin/tar --numeric-owner -xvf $src
#
#


  That does two things:

   1)  Allows the simple addition / modification of the commands.
   2)  Ensures that the --numeric-owner flag is specified by default.

  I'll make a new release tomorrow with this in it.
