Package: debootstrap
Version: 0.3.3.1

During a D-I install, I noticed the following error in the syslog:

debootstrap: Warning: obsolete force/refuse option `auto-select'

This seems to originate from the following code in the 'sid' script:
<snip (extra newlines added for readability)>
    info UNPACKBASE "Unpacking the base system..."

    smallyes '' |
     (repeat 5 in_target_failmsg INST_BASE_FAIL_FIVE \
       "Failure while installing base packages.  This will be re-attempted up 
to five times." "" \
       dpkg --status-fd 8 --force-auto-select \
       --force-overwrite --force-confold --skip-same-version \
       --unpack $(debfor $base) 8>&1 1>&7 || echo EXITCODE $?) |
     dpkg_progress $baseprog $bases UNPACKBASE "Unpacking base system" UNPACKING

    info CONFBASE "Configuring the base system..."
</snip>

According to Joey Hess the option was removed in dpkg back in April.

The option should at least be removed in the sid script; probably not in
scripts for older Debian releases. Unsure about Ubuntu scripts.

Cheers,
