Just to add my 2 cents after spending half of today debugging this issue out of our kas-isar container [1]: Affects the buster version of debootstrap as well. The proposed patch fixes it there, too.
Any plans to include this? Would be great! Thanks, Jan [1] https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/kas-devel/8d2408ef-899f-8479-7674-eb344da2bb85%40siemens.com
