Other people noted that debootstrap is regularly backported already.
Very cool. I re-ran my tests with the backported debootstrap, and now I
can successfully test packages from dapper, hardy, intrepid, and jaunty
on hardy, intrepid, and jaunty. Excellent. Thus, everything is as it
should be. Cake in the lunch room at noon!

I don't think I am immediately comfortable adding a layer to download
code from the net that will be run outside the virtual system, so I'll
skip that for now. Perhaps in the future.
