debootstrap fails to install Debian buster on s390x because of a
multi-arch "perl:any" dependency it fails to parse (bug #960265). This
update to s390-tools hardcodes the dependency on "perl" without that,
which should make the installation possible again. I already validated
that this fixed the issue on unstable and I could successfully install
it using debian-installer.

The fix is this one-liner. Debdiff attached. This should be fixed in the
package rather than debootstrap for now as debootstrap fixes are harder
to distribute.

My assumption is that this is not fixable through -updates but requires
a point release to be properly fixed.

Kind regards and thanks
