Jeremy Stanley 3919563e58 Add security suite name override in debian-minimal
Add option to set the suite subpath after the release name for the
security mirror URL independently in the debian-minimal element,
since this can differ between mirrors.

debian-minimal
==============
The ``debian-minimal`` element uses debootstrap for generating a
minimal image.
By default this element creates the latest stable release. The exact
setting can be found in the element's ``environment.d`` directory in
the variable ``DIB_RELEASE``. If a different release of Debian should
be created, the variable ``DIB_RELEASE`` can be set appropriately.
Note that this element installs ``systemd-sysv`` as the init system
The element obeys the ``DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR`` argument for
mirroring (see ``debootsrap`` element documentation). However, the
security repositories are separate for Debian, so we can not assume
they exist at ``DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR``. If you do not wish to use
the upstream repository (from ``security.debian.org``) override it
with ``DIB_DEBIAN_SECURITY_MIRROR``. The security suite name's subpath
can also be overridden to something other than ``/updates`` with the
``DIB_DEBIAN_SECURITY_SUBPATH`` variable.
