[Vmdebootstrap-devel] Bug#861069: tweaks for debian-live builds

[Steve McIntyre]

Package: vmdebootstrap
Version: 1.7-1
Severity: normal

tags: patch

Hi,

I'm using live-wrapper and vmdebootstrap to make debian live builds on
pettersson. There's a few small changes I've made in the customise.lib
script helpers in vmdebootstrap that helped.

First: some packages I'm installing in some image builds are causing
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc to be mounted, so I need to make sure it's
unmounted at cleanup time.

Second: it's annoying to see apt-get update noise output to the
console when I'm running my builds. I'm redirecting everything to log
files. So make apt quieter.

Third: I need to run "apt-get source" in the chroot to be able to get
a list of source packages to match my binary image builds. To make
that possible, I've added a "deb-src" line to match the normal apt
"deb" line.

Patch for the changes here:
