Bug Description
Binary package hint: casper
version: 1.236
tested: custom bootstrapped lucid
The binary "file" is used in /etc/init.d/casper to cache files prior to ejecting the CD when the system is going down.
If the package "file" is not installed, the following error will be displayed while performing tests whether to cache the file or not:
/etc/
I assume that "file" is included in either the seeds or the vanilla debootstrap (I haven't investigated), but I use neither. Seeing as casper relies on "file", it should be included as a dependency.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Add btrfs support.
* Make ip=* command-line parsing more precise (thanks, Bill Nickless;
LP: #586553).
* Make the USB update-initramfs shim cope with vmlinuz and initrd.img
being in /boot rather than / (LP: #591207).
* Depend on file for /etc/init.d/casper (thanks, Alon Swartz;
LP: #591213).
* Conflict with live-initramfs, as they overlap and people can pick one or
the other (LP: #453476).
[ Martin Pitt ]
* debian/casper.init: Change shutdown splash message to refer to
"installation media" instead of "disc"; a lot of installs happen
from USB sticks these days. Thanks to Debbie Beliveau for the idea.
