FAI installation - problems with apt-https

[René Bleisch]

Debootstrap was the right keyword. "debootstrap" is used by 
fai-make-nfsroot to create the basefile.
To add a package to the basefile, one has to add it to the 
"FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS" variable in /etc/fai/nfsroot.conf,
where "--include=<pkg1>,<pkg2>,..." specifies packages to be installed 
during bootstrap:

FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--exclude=info,wget 
--include=aptitude,apt-transport-https,ca-certificates"

Now apt-transport-https is installed to the basefile and 
https-repositories are no problem for apt anymore.
