[Bug 1698686] Re: debootstrap: learn about Debian buster

[Mattia Rizzolo]

** Description changed:

- debootstrap learnt about Debian buster (and, incidentally, bullseye) in 1.0.85, first present in artful.
- We want that in xenial too.
+ [Impact]
+ * people can't easily debootstrap the current debian testing (buster) with the tools available in Ubuntu's stable
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ * `debootstrap buster foo` --> fail with a "suite buster not known message"
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ * really, none.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ * this kind of change is routinely done in debootstrap, just adding support 
+   for new releases
+ * my proposed package also add support for "bullseye", i.e. buster+1, even if it will be released in who knows how many years… That's just being
+ pro-active, most probably xenial will still be supported when bullseye will be interesting.
