Title:
  debootstrap fails if target chroot directory mounted via --bind

Status in debootstrap package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debootstrap

  1) Ubuntu version:
  Description:    Ubuntu 9.10
  Release:        9.10
  2) 'apt-cache policy debootstrap':
  debootstrap:
    Installed: 1.0.20
    Candidate: 1.0.20
    Version table:
   *** 1.0.20 0
          500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Problem description:

  I have little space on /, so I 'sudo mount --bind /var/chroot
  /media/data/chroot' to get all my chroots on another partition. But if
  I start debootstrap like

     sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch i386 hardy
  /var/chroot/hardy http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/

  then debootstrap fails with

  W: Failure trying to run: chroot /home/rdb/abc def/chroot mount -t
  proc proc /proc

  So I have only dpkg installed in new chroot (which is not usable).
