Dear developer

Thank you for your work on this superb package, my Beagle is running great!
I have however one non-essential question, that I believe can be resolved
quite quickly.

I would like to know which sections of the Debian repositories the
beagleboneblack.sh script uses with all the options as set by default (see
for example https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/TI/BeagleBone). Does
it use only the main section of the repositories? Or does it use the
contrib section, or perhaps even the non-free section?
On the debootstrap man page the option --components is mentioned for this
purpose. I have not seen anything of the sort in connection with
vmdebootstrap, it doesn't seem possible to specify sections of a
repository.

I imagine the question I'm asking would not seem important to every user,
but I believe free software enthusiasts would disagree. If this information
is out there and I somehow missed it I apologize, but I would like to know
for sure which software gets included in the disk image. Mentioning this in
the documentation is just a thought I had.

Thank you in advance and cheers!
