It is actually a side-effect of my changes to get rid of all those
annoying perl warnings. I forgot that mdadm has a debconf template while
making those changes.
The cause is that bootstrap-base postinst sets:
# Avoid locale related errors during package installations
export IT_LANG_OVERRIDE=C
This gets unset during post_install_hooks():
# locales will now be installed, so unset
unset IT_LANG_OVERRIDE
But this assumes that packages installed in the chroot "early" are
non-interactive.
The easiest way to solve this issue is probably to do:
