Hi,
creating a sub-essential chroot based on busybox used to work:
mmdebstrap --variant=custom \
--include=base-files,base-passwd,busybox,debianutils,dpkg,libc-bin,mawk,tar \
--extract-hook='chroot "$1" busybox --install -s' \
unstable /dev/null
But probably since 5.1-1 it fails with:
--%<---------------------------------------------------------------------

symbols +-= and one or more of the letters rwxst

The following patch fixes the problem with chmod and sync (the busybox
version only has the short option):
