It seems apt-get refuses to download again if its source is coming from
a mounted filesystem.

Overriding $NFSROOT/etc/apt/sources.list after calling fai-setup, with
Internet sources, seems to have done the trick.  I hope it works.

Apparently then make-fai-repository will not work to copy from a local 
mirror?
I guess it would if I went through the extra step of setting up ftp access
to the mirror.  Lame.

Unless someone knows a way to make apt-get download anyway even though
it uses file:/ entries in sources.list?
