[Bug 1847347] [NEW] 1.42.13-1ubuntu1.1 breaks debootstrap in Xenial

[Mike Purvis]

Public bug reported:

At my company we prepare system disk images which start from deboostrap
pointing at an internal mirror containing packages from xenial, xenial-
updates, and elsewhere. As of September 30, our image preparation begun
failing during the initial debootstrap.

We narrowed it down to this update— when we remove version
1.42.13-1ubuntu1.1 of this package from our mirror, everything works as
before.

Apologies that I don't have more details at this time, as we're still
digging. But just wanted to get the ball rolling on a discussion here.
