Package: mmdebstrap
Version: 0.7.5-2.2
Severity: wishlist
Before /etc/machine-id, there was /etc/hostid. It's kinda crap.
It is in glibc and coreutils, but only ZFS really uses it.

# systemctl start zfs-import-scan
zpool: cannot import 'test': pool was previously in use from another system.

zpool: The pool can be imported, use 'zpool import -f' to import the pool.
With --include=zfs-dkms,zfsutils-linux you get an /etc/hostid in mmdebstrap's
output.
I think /etc/hostid should be removed, like /etc/machine-id.
I think this would go under "cleanup/reproducible", like
if (-e "$options->{root}/etc/hostid") {
unlink "$options->{root}/etc/hostid"
or error "cannot unlink /etc/hostid: $!";
}
