Subject: multistrap: Clearer error reporting in the --simulate option
Package: multistrap
Version: 2.1.3
Severity: minor

*** Please type your report below this line ***
> I replaced the udevd executables with an older version from another
> embedded distro and it worked as expected. Thus I tried this:
> [General]
> arch=armel
> directory=rootfs_unconfigured
> cleanup=true
> noauth=true
> unpack=true
> debootstrap=Grip
> aptsources=GripSqueeze GripLenny Debian

Problem 2: you don't specify a Grip section and you don't 'include' a
conf file that does. This is where multistrap needs to improve the
error reporting - please file a bug report against the Debian package
- minor, asking for clearer error reporting in the --simulate option.
