Oops, sorry about that.

Well, as I said in the initial submission, it broke when using
qemu-debootstrap instead of debootstrap.  It's basically an
implementation accident in the argument parsing of deboostrap -- if it
changed to say '$# -ge 4' rather than '$4 != ""', live-build would stop
working.  It's all a bit theoretical and I think qemu-debootstrap is
going to be fixed to be more compatible with debootstrap here, so if you
think the cost to readability is too high, I can understand that.

Relatedly, would you be interested in patches that move towards making
live-build use qemu-deboostrap by default if cross building?  I have
some patches that work, but they're definitely a bit rough currently.

Cheers,
mwh
