Package: multistrap
Version: 2.1.15~bpo60+1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: squeeze

Hi,
When running multistrap for foreign architectures, one need to chross-chroot
into the rootfs and run the pre-insts and dpkg-reconfigure by himself. For host
or a host compatible architecture, multistrap launches "dpkg-reconfigure -a"
without the possibility to uncheck this.

Multistrap should concentrate on retreiving the packages, but every further
configuration should be done by the caller. In this particular case I liked to
launch the preinst scripts before launching "dpkg-reconfigure -a". This would
made rootfs generation/configuration a bit more flexibe for e.g. lxc-
containerized rootfs.

So if possible, I prefere to have an option which disables the "dpkg-
reconfigure -a" - maybe this should be disabled by default?

Regards,
Marcus
