The replacement of file:// with copy:// is already covered in the
multistrap man page.

       'source' is the apt source to use for this Section. (To use a
local source on the same machine, ensure you use "copy://" not
"file://", so that apt is told to copy the packages into the rootfs
instead of assuming it can try to download them later - because that
"later" will never actually happen.
