The task extrbase looks in the directory "basefiles" inside the fai
configspace for a file

CLASS.tar.gz - for any of the clases defined for the host currentlyx
being installed.

you don't need the base.tgz, but the CLASS.tar.gz (not the tar.gz NOT

tarred deboostrap result (or whatever you might wish to add or remove
from the debootstrap)!
