Dear Debian team,

I'm  trying  to create a  rootfs with  the "debootstrap"  command on a
Debian  bullseye 11.7 system to  create a new  "bookworm" version. The
destination rootfs must contain dedicated mount points.

ansible@hn-asusgl752-400:~$ uname -a
Linux hn-asusgl752-400 6.0.0-0.deb11.6-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Debian
6.0.12-1~bpo11+1 (2022-12-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
ansible@hn-asusgl752-400:~$ dpkg -l |grep debootstrap
ii  cdebootstrap     0.7.8+b3            amd64        Bootstrap a Debian
system
ii  debootstrap      1.0.123+deb11u1     all          Bootstrap a basic
Debian system

Consider following code ...

sudo rm -rf /tmp/bug_debian_1032254; \
sudo debootstrap \
  --verbose \
  --variant=minbase \
  --keep-debootstrap-dir \

This is a strange setup, why is the rootfs under a different volume
than /usr? That's not really supported. Anyway, this should be fixed in
a newer version, try installing debootstrap from bullseye-backports.
