this is really an issue with debootstrap(added blocking notes for the
relevent bugs), though ltsp-build-client could possibly issue a more
verbose warning.

until debootstrap supports this, i don't think we're going to do any magic to
handle it specifically with ltsp-build-client.

looks like debootstrap supports this now.

will require a few relatively minor changes to some ltsp-build-client plugins,
which will probably have to wait till after squeeze is released.

support for suites in some plugins may be difficult to properly implement for
features that really are tied to a particular codename, though.

There are very few distribution specific hacks post-squeeze.

"testing" (currently jessie) and "stable" (currently wheezy) work.

Using "unstable" requires also setting "--security-mirror none" and
"--updates-mirror none", and I'll add a patch upstream to fix this.

For squeeze as "oldstable" it is broken, but once wheezy becomes
"oldstable", should work fine. Not planning on fixing that.

It may also work with earlier versions; I haven't tested for sure.

live well,
  vagrant
