Package: mmdebstrap
Version: 1.5.7-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
For debian-ports archives, it is usually useful to have the "unreleased"
suite also configured, to get hot-fixes. It would thus be useful to
have an --extra-suites option like debootstrap has, to be able to pass
--extra-suites=unreleased to mmdebstrap.
Actually it could even be useful to have a --prepend-suites options to
be able to put it *before* the unstable suite, in cases where there is a
package both in unreleased and unstable, and the unreleased one should
rather be used.

Wow, I didn't know you could pass an empty suite and several mirrors.
That is not really clear from man mmdebstrap. Probably the second
paragraph of the DESCRIPTION should explicitly mention this use case.
Also, the "The MIRROR option" paragraph should at least start as "The
MIRROR options"
