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

[Thomas Ward]

Public bug reported:

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.
