Package: mmdebstrap
Version: 0.7.5-2.2
Severity: normal

Hi,

mmdebstrap from Debian stable fails to run with --dry-run. Example:

```
$ mmdebstrap -v --dry-run --variant=minbase unstable root.tar
[...]
Inst sysvinit-utils (3.01-1 Debian:unstable [amd64])
Conf sysvinit-utils (3.01-1 Debian:unstable [amd64])
I: skip extracting packages because of --dry-run
I: no essential packages -- skipping...
E: cannot read /var/cache/apt/archives/
W: listening on child socket failed: 
I: removing tempdir /tmp/mmdebstrap.e7VYvXTJ31...
```

Running the same command on Debian unstable with mmdebstrap 0.8.2-1
works, but backporting mmdebstrap >= 0.8 to Debian bullseye fails,
because mmdebstrap >= 0.8 requires a APT version that is newer than the
one shipped in bullseye.
