The buildds have already been updated with a new config ~3 weeks ago:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2023/10/msg00019.html
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2023/10/msg00024.html
Are the ports buildds managed differently? If so, they either need
that change, or to take debootstrap from proposed-updates where the
defaults have been switched. There is nothing actionable in
debootstrap, as the relevant changes have already been made and
uploaded (pending the next stable release to make it out of p-u).
