yeeees! That was it!!

I investigated how it could happen that an Essential:yes package did not get
installed. The reason for that is the following:

curl --silent http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/dists/unstable/main/=
binary-hurd-i386/Packages.xz | unxz | grep-dctrl -F Package netdde

The above comes back empty. The netdde package is not part of the unstable
suite (but it is present in unreleased) and that's why mmdebstrap does not =
pick
it up when it is told to install a chroot for the suite called "unstable".

Is this intentional? Should I add a workaround? I see that "grep" is another
Essential:yes package in unreleased (but it is also in unstable).

Thanks!

cheers, josch
