Of course he did; the maintainer (me) is too busy focussing on other
things, and whether debootstrap works with PGI is relatively low on the
list of priorities.

That's a very good question. It's not trivial to reproduce the bug: Branden
tried chrooting into the PGI environment to reproduce it, but it seems like
that's not enough. No one's had the time or interest to reproduce it properly
and diagnose exactly what's going on.

There's a trivial workaround for PGI's purposes in the bug report,
which is what was forked.
