Huh? What? I had nothing to do with #223835.
The only debootstrap bugs I recall having anything to do with were #139543 and
#139529, which I NMUed the package for.
debootstrap (0.1.17.8) unstable; urgency=low
* NMU
* The "it didn't change the way the installer worked" release.
* Makefile: create $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/man/man8 before attempting to
install a file to it (Closes: #139543)
* functions: fix race condition in smallyes() implementation; thanks to Matt
Zimmerman for the analysis. "Sometimes, dpkg finishes executing before
smallyes runs, and it loops forever while echo fails repeatedly due to the
broken pipe." To fix this race, we simply swap the loop condition and
body, so that if the echo fails, smallyes() exits cleanly. I further
changed "true" to ":" to save the expense of an extra process for shells
where "true" is not a built-in.
(Closes: #139529)

Is there something wrong with the above changelog entry? If so, what?
