Just a thing: consider that yesterday Julien Cristau updated the buildd
to use debootstrap from stretch-backports. I just so happens that the
backport is outdated right now, but this also means the buildd will use
merged-usr chroots once somebody updates the debootstrap backports.

Yes, this is not a solution in any way.
