Now that wheezy should be released soon we want to do the final
preparations for grml-debootstrap to make wheezy the supported
stable and default release. Therefore I would like to seek
preapproval of grml-debootstrap/0.54.

It's setting wheezy as default release, includes a bugfix for GRUB
cmdline (fixing --bootappend option) and updates docs accordingly.
