   to figure out the security mirror for bullseye and beyond
 - use argparse in tarfilter and taridshift for proper --help output

0.7.1 (2020-09-18)
------------------

 - bugfix release

0.7.0 (2020-08-27)
-----------------

 - the hook system (setup, extract, essential, customize and hook-dir) is made
   public and is now a documented interface
 - tarball is also created if the output is a named pipe or character special
 - add --format option to control the output format independent of the output
   filename or in cases where output is directed to stdout
 - generate ext2 filesystems if output file ends with .ext2 or --format=ext2

   discovery

 - fix deterministic tar with pax and xattr support

0.5.1 (2019-10-19)
------------------

 - minor bugfixes and documentation clarification
 - the --components option now takes component names as a comma or whitespace
   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
 - do not use qemu for architectures unequal the native architecture that can
   be used without it
 - do not copy /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/hostname if the host system doesn't
   have them
 - add --force-check-gpg dummy option
 - 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
