Public bug reported: It looks like the package breaks multistrap configurations (I attached an example configuration below). It overrides the symlink from /bin to /usr/bin and replaces it with a bin directory just containing the ip and ss binaries. As a result, the multistrap build fails with the following error because it can no longer finds a shell:
