Short Translation: are you including some debootstrap version here?

Yes, I include the unpacked Ubuntu debootstrap package here.

This was necessary for providing a way to create a base image for Ubuntu
by running a single command (even this could be included in
make-fai-nfsroot) an no futher hassles, in addition to the usual FAI
configuration.
I see that it is not an option to include an Ubuntu binary package. I
thought, maybe the source itself would be O.k. but that seems also
wrong.

Alternatives:

I make the make-base-tgz script for other distributions but the one FAI
is running on fetch the debootstrap package needed for that distribution
from an ftp server(official or a cached version provided bai FAI), or
let the user select a location where he manually put it, unpack it, and
store it somewhere (/srv/fai/... ?).

Would that suffice? Where in /srv could I place such a package,
containing software needed to run each time the base image for the
distributions is recreated and downloaded from "somewhere"?
