Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.64
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
attached patch is pretty hurd-specific:
- disconnect (orphan) TARGET/proc passive translator and start
bind-mounting /proc along with /servers and /dev.
- add "nobindmount" variant to create chroots without bind-mounting
any filesystem. Main use case is chroot for subhurds [0].

Thanks for considering.
