[Bug 2067523] Re: `mk-sbuild` on older Ubuntu versions like 22.04 are unable to build new Debian chroots

[Thomas Ward]

NOTE: I backported locally debootstrap 1.0.136ubuntu1 from Oracular to
Jammy, and **it resolved the issue**. As a result I am certain this is a
debootstrap issue.

Bug description:
  Sometimes, when we are working with both Ubuntu and Debian, we need to
  create a Debian chroot for build testing.

  Unfortunately, mk-sbuild is UNABLE to create Debian chroots.
  Currently, the first error is that "/bin/true" is nonexistent (it's in
  `/usr/bin/true` now).  Then, it fails trying to execute ldconfig, and
  a continual chain of issues.

  It's possible this is a debootstrap problem, but one that probably
  needs rectified.
