No objections, thanks.

That looks OK to me, thanks, but will need a kibi-ack due to the udeb.

I would assume so, yes.

Bug#968548: buster-pu: package s390-tools/2.3.0-2~deb10u1

Package: release.debian.org
User: release.debian@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
Tags: buster
Severity: important

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
