If you intentionaly unpack a system to unclean disks (knowing the same
system being installed), debootstrap warns about overwriting files.
Since this is ok to you, you'll confirm this. BUT: debootstrap does not,
as mentioned, overwrite files, instead it stops as soon as a file it
tries to unpack exists.
I'd awaited debootstrap to do waht it warned me for before it started:
intentionally overwrite files.
I suppose this a bug, since debootstrap did warn before it would
overwrite files!
