Package : debootstrap Version : 1.0.123+deb11u3 Debian Bug : 1091649

debootstrap has been updated to avoid pulling in usr-is-merged in testing and unstable. This fixes creating testing/unstable chroots after src:usrmerge is removed from the archive.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.123+deb11u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your debootstrap packages.
