Package: multistrap
Severity: important

Hi,

when bootstrapping with including additional packages, and that
additional package has a preinst that uses 'dpkg --compare-versions',
then multistrap fails, because it's calling the preinst scripts with no
arguments (instead of '$preinst upgrade $old_version $new_version').

this is particulary bad since quite important packages, such as postfix
or python are using dpkg --compare-versions in their preinst, making it
effectively impossible to bootstrap any non-basic system with multistrap.

Regards,
Daniel
