Package: mmdebstrap Version: 1.5.4-2 Severity: normal Dear maintainer,
It is regularly claimed that mmdebstrap should be used instead of debootstrap. However contrary to debootstrap [1], it does not install packages with priority required for the buildd variant when suite is bookworm or older. This causes some packages to FTBFS as they expect packages with priority required to be installed. As fixing those is out of scope of the (old)stable policy, mmdebstrap should install those packages (as it was doing at the time of the bookworm release), just like debootstrap.
