Bug#846622: debootstrap: refers to log that is already deleted
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.87
Severity: important
Here's a case. debootstrap operation has failed. Now debootstrap
mentions to look at the logs to determine the cause of the failure. But
this log file is inside the chroot. The same chroot that debootstrap
removes as part of cleanup, because of the failure.
So even before the user could act of the message, it is already deleted.
debootstrap should put the log in an absolute path on the Host OS.

/var/cache/apt/archives/debconf_1.5.59_all.deb is at fault)
