2G for now, because that's all the DP has to play with.  I'm not crazy
about building functionally separate images, but may be able to be
convinced.

Make sure your repository is updated.  It sounds like you have a *very*
old version.  That's fixed in all my copies and appears to have come
From forever ago [0ec7ebf1 on 2012.0822].

It takes a lot of space, IIRC.  There're ways to silence the warnings
without locales anyway.  I'm not sure they're the *right* way to do
things, but they can work.  Thoughts?

The changes

Apologies, I didn't actually realize those other changes were
intentional: inlining the diff added a bunch of linebreaks that hid the
changes you actually made.  I looked for the lines that began with a -
or +:

    --- a/multistrap-configs/fbx-base.conf
    +++ b/multistrap-configs/fbx-base.conf
    @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ debootstrap=Debian
     aptsources=Debian

     [Debian]
    -packages=base-files netbase openssh-server zile wget iproute
    +packages=base-files netbase openssh-server zile wget iproute
    net-tools hostname module-init-tools wget resolvconf udev

That, as a diff, made me assume you accidentally added a space at the
end. :)

Alberto, thanks for your work and your time.
