Title:
  Debootstrap fails for Debian testing/trixie/unstable

Status in debootstrap package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in debootstrap source package in Jammy:
  Fix Released

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.
