Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.87 Followup-For: Bug #817236 (Not CCing people on purpose because this doesn't add to the current thread's discussion:)
Just wanted to add for the record (e.g. online readers) that Ansgar's workaround of replacing the current fstab /dev/pts line does works to unbreak errors like "out of pty devices". However, it breaks other things like su, which requires to be run from a terminal but now can't access the host's terminal via /dev/pts. This breakage itself can be worked around by running su inside `script /dev/null`, but this might not work for everything. Anyway, the original workaround solves my immediate problem of python tests failing.
