Also you need to add 'gpgv' to appliance/packagelist.in.  Even if it's
installed outside the fakeroot, debootstrap wants it inside the
fakeroot too so it can check signatures.

You need to export DEBIRF_KEYRING=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg

Stepping back from libguestfs, debootstrap fails for me:

  fakeroot fakechroot debootstrap --variant=fakechroot X /tmp/root
  FAILS for X in lenny, jaunty, sid
  works for X in intrepid

This command:

  ./autogen.sh \
    --enable-debug-command \
    --with-drive-if=virtio \
    --with-repo=intrepid \
    --with-mirror=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
  DEBIRF_KEYRING=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg make

fails at:

  W: Failure trying to run: chroot /home/rjones/d/libguestfs/appliance/debian/root dpkg --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_4.0.4ubuntu2_i386.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.18_i386.deb

This seems to be some known bug in debootstrap.

I suggest getting debootstrap working first on Ubuntu ...

Subject: [PATCH] Ubuntu: Add gpgv to the packagelist.

debootstrap seems to need this for Ubuntu so it can
check package signatures.
