Problems creating a woody nfsroot

I recently upgraded my local debian mirror, and upgraded the version of FAI
and debootstrap on my FAI server, and attempted to make-fai-nfsroot, with
the same error. Inspection of make-fai-nfsroot reveals this line in
copy_fai_files():

    cp -p /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Fai.pm usr/lib/perl5/Debian/

(I too am installing a woody nfsroot, using debootstrap.)

I find that the Woody (i.e. 'testing') version of perl does include
/usr/lib/perl5 in its search path:

> # perl -e 'print join("\n", @INC), "\n" ;' | grep perl5 | head -1
> /usr/lib/perl5

So, it appears make-fai-nfsroot needs this little patch to ensure the
existence of that directory in the nascent NFSroot:

*** make-fai-nfsroot.old        Mon Dec 17 12:07:45 2001
--- make-fai-nfsroot    Mon Dec 17 11:42:11 2001
