Just thought I'd mention that those tests were for current unstable. As mentioned in: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debootstrap/-/merge_requests/105#note_430223 my attempts to test the same change in bullseye have not yet worked out, because bullseye's D-I is missing the features that were recently added to D-I in order to allow one to add a test repo from which D-I can obtain modified udebs (such as debootstrap). I'll ought to be able to sort out tweaked versions of net-retriever & anne for bullseye, in which case a test should be possible. I'm somewhat dubious that such a test is going to tell us anything interesting though. Cheers, Phil. -- Philip Hands -- https://hands.com/~phil
