Title:
  --keyring argument breaks qemu-debootstrap

Status in “pbuilder” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “pbuilder” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pbuilder

  The file /usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc defines:

  # Set the debootstrap variant to 'buildd' type.
  DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS=(
      '--variant=buildd'
      '--keyring' '/usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg'
      )

  When we create an armel chroot using pbuilder create, we call build-
  arm-chroot / qemu-debootstrap. The DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS arg is passed, and
  it turns out that qemu-debootstrap has trouble parsing the command
  line arguments if there is a space between the option and the value.
  This in turn causes the chroot creation to fail later, as we attempt
  to run debootstrap in the chroot:

  Arguably, the command line parsing of qemu-debootstrap should be
  fixed, but there's nothing wrong or hacky about using the
  --option=value style of passing arguments to debootstrap. debootstrap
  itself can handle both styles.
