Bug#342855: bash: Fails to install through debootstrap
Package: bash
Version: 3.1-1
Severity: important
I hesitated tagging this as RC because it currently breaks unstable installs
with D-I....but I leave this up to you, Mathias.
Installing bash with debootstrap fails:

This can be reproduced with debootstrap itself. It breaks all installs of
unstable with Debian Installer, also.
