vmdebootstrap is a wrapper but it is not a transparent wrapper which is
going to get into an ongoing race of matching options to debootstrap
itself.

None of these bugs relate to VM-specific issues, these are just
debootstrap options, so the only realistic fix is for a
--debootstrap-opts option which forms a list which vmdebootstrap never
looks at but just dumps on the debootstrap command line. If debootstrap
fails, that'll be a problem for the user, not vmdebootstrap.

So I'm going to ignore the current patches and see about such an option
in some future release. If the submitters of these bugs want to work on
such a patch, I will look at it but it must allow support for all the
original bugs, not require any validation of those options within
vmdebootstrap and make it clear that any failures in this section are
not bugs in vmdebootstrap.
