Add support for suite components to mmdebstrap plugin
Metadata
Current evaluation
Request to add suite component support to the mmdebstrap plugin is stalled because mmdebstrap itself lacks this feature, with maintainers suggesting alternative plugins like chisel.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue is a clear feature request but lacks labels, assignee, and formal assessment. Maintainers need to evaluate whether to implement the feature, adopt the suggested alternative (`chisel`), or adjust the scope before development can begin.

Issue body
### Check existing issues
- [x] I've verified that this request isn't described by any existing issues.
### Request
Describe the feature you'd like to see implemented.
Support an option such as `mmdebstrap-components: [main, universe, ...]` for the mmdebstrap plugin.
### The problem it solves
Describe the impact your request would have.
Some packages one may wish to be included in an image (or are even required for the image) may only come from universe or *gasp* restricted. Because the mmdebstrap plugin does not support specifying components, only the `main` component is added to the rootfs and so the method for bootstrapping a rootfs prior to the existence of this plugin must continue to be used.
