[pkg-fso-maint] An eventful install.sh

All right,

I would agree that this has the best ROI, we can expect the user to RTFineM.

Hm. This should possibly be another flag. Luca (IIRC) objected adding less

Something like SD_LUXURY that pulls these packages in then.  Maybe suppres
those perl warnings if not set? (emacs says I got 133 of those, ten lines
each)

Bash is not my mother tongue (...), but I tried to translate those comments
the best I could.  I started from commit
09fb172d5044c977474cfa0c7f5fff320bb5dab4, with which the attached patch
should match.  It is wholly divided in parts three, of which:
*one changes the debootstrap version to one that does inhabit the
repositories;
*another makes the cleanup stage only purge installed packages (may contain
historic cruft);
*the third hopefully clarifies the umount message and corrects the mount
instructions.  Those instructions are only shown when !
$intern_instdir_already_present, is it assumed that the presence of that
directory signals that the current OS already handles the mounting of the SD
card?  SHR mounts mmcblk0p1 on /media/card for me...
These parts actually don't differ between each other concerning language.

As for the erratic SD card, I suppose I'll hunt for a solution separately.
It seems to be a rather complex matter.

Greets,

Steven.

P.S.: If this silly humour in mail or patch are bothersome or impertinent I
do apologise.
