When using snapshot.debian.org (e.g. to work around bug#803769) it seems debootstrap ignores expiry (which is arguably a bug in itself): Only midway through the install process does it fail asking to retry, and retrying succeeds after running either of these commands: a) date -s $some-old-enough-data b) echo 'Acquire::Check-Valid-Until "false";' > /target/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99ignore-repo-exiry As I understand this issue and your question, Cyril, the answer is therefore that such flag currently (with arguably buggy debootstrap) only need to affect the later APT calls within /target.
