According to https://release.debian.org/bullseye/freeze_policy.html you are
right!

Feel free to NMU mmdebstrap and put your patch into the packaging git. Reason
for my unavailability in in Message-ID
161288154975.4161408.13592461751760341766@localhost on
debian-priv...@lists.debian.org.

The patch should probably look something like this:

@@ -5461,10 +5461,8 @@ sub main() {
         '-c',
         '--exclude=./dev'
     );

-    if ($format eq "squashfs") {
-        warning "tar2sqfs does not support extended attributes";
-    } elsif ($format eq "ext2") {
+    # genext2fs does not support extended attributes
+    if ($format eq "ext2") {
         warning "genext2fs does not support extended attributes";
     } else {
         push @taropts, '--xattrs';


Thanks!
