[Bug 1786586] [NEW] Merge/sync debootstrap from Debian Sid

[Simon Quigley]

Public bug reported:

There are two notable changes from Debian in our debootstrap packaging:

debootstrap (1.0.106ubuntu2+really1.0.97ubuntu1) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * Revert to last known good version to avoid bugs like
    https://bugs.debian.org/903481. Careful testing will be needed before
    we merge again.

debootstrap (1.0.106ubuntu1) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * debootstrap does not make a destinction between priviledged and
    unpriviledged lxd containers. When setting up devices, try to use the
    old simple device setup, and if that fails, then fallback to the new
    bind-setup. Blind attempt to unbreak cloud image livefs building, as
    PPA is failing to build this package for me, thus cannot self-trigger
    a livefs build to test this before uploading.

Here's the most recent changelog from Debian:

debootstrap (1.0.107) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Patrick McDermott ]
  * Fix wgetprogress() with --debian-installer (Closes: #829725)

  [ Dan Nicholson ]
  * Strip URL scheme from apt lists (Closes: #903481)

  [ Hideki Yamane ]
  * Fix docker detection breaks QEMU's binfmt_misc bootstraping 
    (Closes: #903657)
    - Avoid removing host's /proc on some environment
    - Add workaround for second-stage inside docker
  * Align scripts/gutsy to scripts/debian-common
  * Remove unnecessary script files from udeb package 
    (Closes: #618839, #893713)

It fixes the bug Michael mentioned, but as he stated, careful testing is
needed before we merge again.

I am volunteering to drive this, but I would like to track testing in
this bug to make sure nothing is broken before we do this merge.

Assuming Dimitri upstreams his changes to Debian, I would also like to
raise attention to this: should we add it to the sync blacklist or keep
a permanent delta which is only a changelog entry? If it is going to be
problematic, proper testing is surely needed to make sure it doesn't
break again, but should action be taken to make that an extra step?

Thanks.
