   separated list or as multiple --components options
 - make_mirror.sh now has to be invoked manually before calling coverage.sh

0.5.0 (2019-10-05)
------------------

 - do not unconditionally read sources.list stdin anymore
     * if mmdebstrap is used via ssh without a pseudo-terminal, it will stall
       forever
     * as this is unexpected, one now has to explicitly request reading
       sources.list from stdin in situations where it's ambiguous whether
       that is requested
     * thus, the following modes of operation don't work anymore:
         $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir < sources.list
         $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir http://mirror < sources.list
     * instead, one now has to write:
         $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir - < sources.list
         $ mmdebstrap unstable /output/dir http://mirror - < sources.list
 - fix binfmt_misc support on docker

   be used without it
 - do not copy /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/hostname if the host system doesn't
   have them

 - allow hooks to remove start-stop-daemon
 - add /var/lib/dpkg/arch in chrootless mode when chroot architecture differs
 - create /var/lib/dpkg/cmethopt for dselect
 - do not skip package installation in 'custom' variant
 - fix EDSP output for external solvers so that apt doesn't mark itself as
   Essential:yes
 - also re-exec under fakechroot if fakechroot is picked in 'auto' mode
 - chdir() before 'apt-get update' to accomodate for apt << 1.5
 - add Dir::State::Status to apt config for apt << 1.3
 - chmod 0755 on qemu-user-static binary
 - select the right mirror for ubuntu, kali and tanglu

   bars
