It would make sense to mention both packages from the get-go, we have
dep-waits to ensure one finishes before the other one starts?

The unifont-bin build-dep pulls it.

Yes, I'm aware of that. But I think having this in unstable/testing already
will help because several maintainers replied to the bugs saying they are
unable to reproduce it. Having debootstrap with this change in unstable/testing
will make this a) much easier and b) convince people that they need to include
this change or otherwise their package will really FTBFS on the buildds with
the trixie release.

And this should probably go without saying but just to make sure: if this
change causes any weird bugs, please message me so that I can supply a fix.

Thank you!

We can do an upload, but note that it won't have any effect on package
builds, given the buildds use stable/oldstable - and this is not
material for p-u, given the effect. Of course it will affect local
builds, in case they are done via debootstrap, from testing/unstable
users.

I do not have a strong opinion on what should happen first but in that thread,
Holger and Sam also support the idea to first upload debootstrap.

My thought process behind asking the release team about the bug severity was,
that I found it unlikely for the remaining bugs to go down to zero without the
release team declaring that those bugs are indeed of significant severity.

Paul Gevers suggested that I should NMU to DELAYED/10 without raising the
severity.

There are not many packages remaining, so I'm impartial on how this is moved
forward.

On a different topic: this change in debootstrap will break mmdebstrap because
mmdebstrap compares its own output against the output of debootstrap to verify
that it does the right thing. Here is the patch to mmdebstrap that fixes this
issue:

@@ -2955,15 +2966,15 @@ sub run_install() {
 
 my @pkgs_to_install = (@{ $options->{include} });
 if ($options->{variant} eq 'buildd') {
-push @pkgs_to_install, 'build-essential';
+push @pkgs_to_install, 'build-essential', 'apt';
 }
 if (any { $_ eq $options->{variant} }
-('required', 'important', 'standard', 'buildd')) {
+('required', 'important', 'standard')) {
 # Many of the priority:required packages are also essential:yes. We
 # make sure not to select those here to avoid useless "xxx is already
 # the newest version" messages.
 my $priority;
-if (any { $_ eq $options->{variant} } ('required', 'buildd')) {
+if (any { $_ eq $options->{variant} } ('required')) {
 $priority = '?and(?priority(required),?not(?essential))';
 } elsif ($options->{variant} eq 'important') {
 $priority = '?and(?or(?priority(required),?priority(important)),'

I verified that the patch from the MR indeed ends up doing the same as above
patch to mmdebstrap.

Thanks!

These values are very low by today standards.
Also, mentions of ext3 are outdated, I doubt anybody still uses it for
