The problem is with your deb, not dpkg. The check-mk-agent deb from

** Description changed:

+ trusty dpkg fails when trying to extract a dpkg source package
+ compressed using xz. This breaks running autopkgtest from bionic with
+ any and all trusty packages.
+
+ [test case]
+
+ on a bionic system, get any trusty source dpkg and run autopkgtest
Built a test package with the upstream patch here:
https://launchpad.net/~ddstreet/+archive/ubuntu/lp1730627
Then tested autopkgtest on bionic system, with the patched dpkg. Fails
as expected with the current trusty dpkg:
$ autopkgtest -U dpkg_1.17.5ubuntu5.8.dsc -- lxd ubuntu-daily:trusty

@infinity I'll get this patch SRUed into trusty.

This bug breaks autopkgtest running on bionic for (apparently) all
trusty packages.
For example:
$ lsb_release -r

$ pull-lp-source bash trusty

$ autopkgtest -U bash_4.3-7ubuntu1.7.dsc -- lxd ubuntu-daily:trusty
...

Just adding a comment that this is about more than just bootstrapping.
Users on the Trusty LTS cannot install deb packages from upstream
websites that were created with xz compression (ie. built with a newer
distribution). This is how I came to this bug today.

Adding to my comment #8: "debootstrap" is not only used for release
upgrades, if I am not mistaken. Because if this was the main/only use
case, the support for various vanilla Debian releases should not be
included in "debootstrap" either.

I am running an environment (currently on Trusty) which supports
building packages for the current Ubuntu and Debian releases for a non-
trivial user group. For various reasons, I cannot update to Xenial in a
timely manner, and since Bionic is looming large, I want (and need) to
prepare for that

really need to SRU this? Is being able to debootstrap Bionic from Trusty
important?
