That's actually a nice idea, thanks for the patch. Have you
considered sending this patch to the debbootstrap maintainer?
Being able to use unreleased when bootstrapping a ports architecture
is an incredibly helpful feature. Please file a bug against
debbootstrap with your patch attached if you haven't already.

Yeah, but we still stumble over libpcre3 which is not available
in unstable but unreleased only. I had to patch the package
as it won't build on sparc64 without modifications.
Normally, I can just build such packages manually with
$ export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nobench nocheck" ; sbuild ...
but that doesn't help as the pcre3 source package ignores these
settings, it will run the testsuite in any case. Running with
"nobench nocheck" set normally disables the testsuite for
most packages.
Fixing the testsuite failure for pcre3 is also a high priority
task, btw. But first we have to fix the linker issue as having
a properly working toolchain is most important since a broken
toolchain can result into broken binaries which expose weird
crashes which are often incorrectly identified as a bug in the
particular package instead of the toolchain.
FWIW, the audit problem has already resolved itself. It was just
the debian-ports FTP server which hadn't synced the audit-common
package yet.
