Bug#374582: [Pkg-uml-pkgs] Bug#374582: base-config is been invoked in rootstrap, although it doesn't exist anymore

[alex bodnaru]

hi stefano,

since on sarge deboostrap is installing base-config, but not on other
distro, i'd check for it's existance under /tmp/target, with executable
flag (with find, or directly with [ -x ].

but all this in the base-config module itself, since this is the only
one to invoke base-config.

hope that's a good idea,

alex
