It's easy to workaround this problem but as parameter aptsources seems not to be mandatory
it would be nice if multistrap does not fail when the parameter is omitted.

thanks

I've got a fix for this in SVN which will go into unstable and then
into Wheezy. I note you are using 2.1.7 from stable, so for improved
support of other bugs, you might want to use the recently backported
multistrap 2.1.15~bpo60 +1 (it doesn't have this fix) once it makes it
onto the mirrors.
