* Lists of essential packages per architecture were incorrect for Ubuntu,
  breaking sbuild (see Debian #602571).
  - update make-esslist.sh to:
    . sort packages to allow for cleaner diffs between Debian and Ubuntu or
      across updates.
    . default to `lsb_release -cs` for dist instead of sid, as the Ubuntu
      development dist changes constantly; an alternative would be the
      target dist from debian/changelog, but this is often UNRELEASED.
    . query a list of servers instead of only one; this is needed for the
      archive.u.c / ports.u.c split in Ubuntu, but it's also helpful to
      allow configuring a local mirror (which might not carry all
      architectures). The default list is http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
      http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports.
  - update lists of essential packages by running make-esslist.sh.
    . clear package lists for alpha, arm, hppa, hurd-i386, ia64,
      kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, s390, sparc; these aren't
      supported architectures in natty.
    . add python-minimal and drop sysvinit-utils and sysvinit on amd64,
      armel, i386 and powerpc.
