Hi,

When piuparts runs debootstrap, it is pointed to the default --tmpdir,
which absent any configuration or env var is /tmp/, which is now (since
systemd 256~rc3-3) a tmpfs, which as it is expected it is mounted with
noudev for security reasons, but debootstrap doesn't like that as it
wants to create fresh node files.

Please make piuparts --tmpdir default to /var/tmp if nothing is set, to
avoid this issue.

This is a problem in debootstrap. debootstrap should refrain from
creating device nodes when doing so is not possible. Most consumers of
debootstrap bind mount /dev already. Reassigning.

Please don't as that would make reduce piuparts performance to crap.
