Clint Byrum 4ce573c582 Allow adding packages to debootstrap 
Also allows setting the "distro name" so that things that change the
debootstrap signature will have a different tarball.

This is being done in advance of a debian-upstart element to allow
experimenting with debian and upstart.

README.md

Create an image based on Debian. We default to unstable but DIB_RELEASE is mapped to any series of Debian.

Note that the default Debian series is unstable, and the default mirrors for Debian can be problematic for unstable. Because apt does not handle changing Packages files well across multiple out of sync mirrors, it is recommended that you choose a single mirror of debian, and pass it in via DIB_DEBIAN_MIRROR.

Use of this element will also require the tool 'debootstrap' to be available on your system. It should be available on Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora.
