debootstrap: Figure out why debootstrap > 1.0.92~bpo9+1 is broken

[drinkcat]

debootstrap HEAD fails for no apparent reason (the keyring warning is always shown anyway):

10 [e] Patching debootstrap...
10 [e] Downloading bootstrap files...
10 [e] W: Cannot check Release signature; keyring file not available /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg

We're pinning it to 1.0.92~bpo9+1 for now, but we should figure out a longer term fix.

Probably the symlinks

Oh wait that makes no sense, never mind.

Looks like it may be really fixed this time: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=894415#51

Not sure how this gets funneled down and when we might see the results, maybe in 1.0.96 (???)

@drinkcat,

A fix had been merged now that seems to address the problem.
You can do a quick test with something like the following: crouton -r xenial -d -f xenial.bs

If that completes successfully then you can use the '.bs' bootstrap file to install your new chroot with something like this: sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -n xenial -f xenial.bs -t ....
