I don't think so, it's political. Ubuntu and Debian do have several differences between the two distros. That's a normal divertion between the two. > In terms of keeping the original package as 'original' as possible one > better should resolve the aptitude dependency as described above, as > Thomas seems to like aptitude... :-) Honestly, on Ubuntu the fai packages are changed in some ways, like NFSROOT dependencies Ubuntu doesn't have, or named differently.

I think Thomas had something in mind to default to aptitude. I don't know why. But if it works when you replace aptitude with install, we are a step further to a good FAI package in Ubuntu :) Anyways, I'm trying to find the changelog of debootstrap to not install aptitude anymore...
