[Bug 1172920] Re: Add saucy as known Ubuntu release

[Javier P.L.]

I've tested the debootstrap in both, Ubuntu Precise and Ubuntu Quantal
and it works now, wouldn't be easier make debootstrap to take a release
file from Internet to avoid updating the package in all stable releases
for this minimal change?

Ubuntu Precise is still affected by bug #1068390, that's just a comment

$ apt-cache policy debootstrap
