Problems creating a woody nfsroot

Hi,

It seems that fai-setup has some hardcoded potato-related pathes :

# fai-setup
Adding system user fai...
Adding new user fai (103) with group nogroup.
Creating home directory /home/fai.
Generating public/private rsa1 key pair.
Your identification has been saved in /home/fai/.ssh/identity.
Your public key has been saved in /home/fai/.ssh/identity.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
d6:38:7f:d2:18:9d:14:f8:c5:ba:02:d1:32:2e:8d:5b fai@
/home/fai/.ssh/authorized_keys created.
User account fai set up.
Creating FAI nfsroot can take a long time and will
need more than 130MB disk space in /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot.
[...] (installing nfsroot with debootstrap)
cp: cannot create regular file `usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Fai.pm': No such file
or directory

Moreover, I'm not sure of my fai.conf :

-----------------8<---------------------
FAI_ARCH=`dpkg --print-installation-architecture`
ftpserver=ftp.uk.debian.org
debdist=woody # distribution: potato, woody, sid
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP="$debdist http://$ftpserver/debian"
FAI_SOURCES_LIST="deb http://$ftpserver/debian $debdist main contrib
non-free
deb http://$ftpserver/debian $debdist/non-US main contrib non-free"
NFSROOT_PACKAGES="ssh expect portmap libdetect0 discover reiserfsprogs
dpkg-dev"
FAI_ROOTPW="56hNVqht51tzc"
SSH_IDENTITY=/home/pbi/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
UTC=yes
KERNELPACKAGE=/usr/lib/fai/kernel/kernel-image-2.2.19_BOOTP1_i386.deb
KERNELVERSION=2.2.19
LOGUSER=fai
FAI_REMOTESH=ssh
FAI_REMOTECP=scp
NFSROOT=/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot
FAI_CONFIGDIR=/usr/share/fai
-----------------8<---------------------

Btw, the default value for FAI_CONFIGDIR is /usr/local/share/fai. Doesn't
that sound weird for a package ?
