[Bug 1596761] [NEW] Trying to build Debian unstable and testing schroots with mk-sbuild --debootstrap fails

[Ceridwen]

Public bug reported:

I tried to set up schroots for Debian unstable and testing with the
following command:

mk-sbuild --debootstrap-include=devscripts unstable

Each time, the creation eventually failed with the following warning
printed five times:

W: Failure while configuring base packages.  This will be re-attempted up to five times.
W: See /var/lib/schroot/chroots/sid-amd64/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details (possibly the package devscripts is at fault)

I've attached the debootstrap.log file.  When I created an schroot for
stable, that finished.  It's possible this is an upstream bug in
Debian's version of devscripts, but I figured I would start here since
I'm trying to create these schroots on an Ubuntu system.  Tell me if I
should file this instead against Debian's debootstrap or devscripts.
