This is a known issue with debootstrap (#817236 as mentioned above) which affects any tool trying to use a chroot. Josch, I'm curious as to why you tagged the corresponding sbuild bug report (Cc'd) as unreproducible; are you using debootstrap from stable? Anyway, I suggest you also merge the build bug with the debootstrap one. Regards, James
