Binary package hint: debootstrap

Due to package priority changes in Debian, debootstrap 1.20 shows this infamous message when called from pbuilder to create a squeeze chroot:
chroot: cannot run command `/usr/bin/apt-get': No such file or directory

Thread about this issue:
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-devel@lists.debian.org/msg279815.html

The fix was implemented in 1.0.21:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/d/debootstrap/current/changelog

   * Add apt to base packages for the buildd variant as it is no longer marked
     Build-Essential.

This patch should be included as an updated package in Karmic.
Otherwise, automated builds from scratch remain broken. As it stands, I
cannot run my scripts to generate a Squeeze-based live DVD from Karmic
:(
