debootstrap 1.0.106 installs a merged-usr file system by default. Distros that
do not use a merged-usr file system are blacklisted in
/usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/. /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/trusty and
/usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/xenial are symlinked to
/usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/gutsy. The script for gutsy does not include
trusty and xenial as distros blacklisted for merged-usr file system deployment.
Consequently, merged-usr file systems are set up, resulting in failure when
installation of non-merged-usr packages is attempted. Below please find patch
to blacklist trusty and xenial from merged-usr file system deployment.
