I have just committed a workaround in glibc, I'll upload it in the next
days. It would be nice to have this bug fixed for Stretch though, so
that we can use arch-qualified dependencies in Buster.

Do you plan to implement a workaround in glibc for now, or should this bug
report (on the debootstrap side) be raised to RC and fixed before we can
think of a new d-i release? (I have no such plan right now, but it might
be nice not to wait too much once linux has migrated).

That's definitely a bug in debootstrap. In the future it's more and more
likely that we'll have arch-qualified dependencies in the bases packages,
so this has to be fixed. I am therefore cloning and reassigning the bug.

Note that arch qualification is automatically added by dpkg-query, so
we'll have to mangle the output.
