Same here, but after some poking in the sources it seems it's not that simple to achieve. At least for me however it was good enough if I could provide some Debian packages by filename or URL on debootstrap's command line, somewhat similar to the --extra-package option of sbuild. These packaged would be installed unconditionally, possibly overriding any package found on the provided mirror. However, validation of any signatures does not take place. Using some naughty hackery this can already be done in the current version, and even in the Debian installer. Christoph
