[Bug 1971951] Please test proposed package

[Robie Basak]

Hello Benjamin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted mmdebstrap into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mmdebstrap/0.8.4-1ubuntu0.1 in a
few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

  [Test Plan]

  $ cat test.yaml
  ---
  name: test
  mmdebstrap:
    suite: jammy
    target: root.squashfs
    variant: minbase
  $ bdebstrap -c test.yaml
  I: automatically chosen mode: unshare
  I: chroot architecture amd64 is equal to the host's architecture
  sh: 48: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/gutsy: EXTRACTOR_OVERRIDE: parameter not set
  Can't exec "tar2sqfs": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/mmdebstrap line 5178.
  E: cannot exec tar2sqfs --version: No such file or directory
  E: failed to start tar2sqfs --version
  2022-05-06 10:22:50,438 bdebstrap ERROR: mmdebstrap failed with exit code 2. See above for details.

  This test shuold produce a root.squashfs without a failure.

  [Where problems could occur]
  Worst case scenario is that deboostrap breaks, but this one-line fix is so trivial that I fail to come up with possible problem (except for other bugs that only appear when upgrading the package).
