Dear Maintainer,


debootstrap line 764 copies debootstrap into the mountpoint/debootsrap but
cp needs the fully-qualified path - not just $0/progname

Also in functions:1520 "$2" can sometimes be set to //path which causes
the subsequent perl line to fail (difficult to reproduce) So ${2#/} worked
for me - it currently works for me with no modification.

I've tested this on Bash, Dash, Zsh and Tcsh on Linux and FreeBSD and
${0} already expands to the fully-qualified path. It never expands to
${0}/progname as that would always fail. Can you give and example of
where this fails?

Can you give an example of where this happens? You could also submit a
patch if you wish.
