mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-yakkety to verification-done-yakkety.If it does not

tag to verification-failed-yakkety. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  * people can't easily debootstrap the current debian testing (buster) with the tools available in Ubuntu's stable

  [Test case]
  * `debootstrap buster foo` --> fail with a "suite buster not known message"

  [Regression Potential]
  * really, none.

  [Other Info]
  * this kind of change is routinely done in debootstrap, just adding support 
    for new releases
  * my proposed package also add support for "bullseye", i.e. buster+1, even if it will be released in who knows how many years… That's just being
  pro-active, most probably xenial will still be supported when bullseye will be interesting.
