[Bug 2071862] Please test proposed package

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello Luca, or anyone else affected,

Accepted debootstrap into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/1.0.126+nmu1ubuntu0.8
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.

Title:
  Debootstrap fails for Debian testing/trixie/unstable

Status in debootstrap package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in debootstrap source package in Jammy:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  On Jammy debootstrap now fails to create Debian trixie/testing/unstable as the usrmerge symlinks are shipped in base-files, like in Noble, so the debootstrap logic is incompatible.
  Debootstrap in Jammy was already updated to deal with the same change in Noble via:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/+bug/2054925
  https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/commit/?h=applied/ubuntu/jammy-devel&id=9dcbc77446c78935407d736ac1497b625a82d51e

  The same change needs to be applied to the Debian script for
  testing/unstable in Jammy

  [Test plan]
  Running debootstrap for bookworm/testing/unstable successfully, resulting in a correct usr-merged system. With the patch this works fine, without the patch testing/unstable fail.

  [Where problems could occur]
  We do not anticipate any regressions as we replace the previous *) case for usrmerge for trixie/testing/unstable, so previous versions are unaffected.
  That said, this is a different approach than bookworm and older, so there could be unforeseen results.
