Package: base-files
Version: 7.10
Severity: grave

W: Failure trying to run: chroot /tmp/unstable/. dpkg --force-depends
--install /var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_7.10_i386.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.36_i386.deb

While #766459 fixed debootstrapping with jessie's debootstrap, I'm afraid
this doesn't solve most use cases that include upgrading, installation from
non-DI or installation in hosting scenarios.

For a long time, most versions of debootstrap in use will come from wheezy,
Red Hat or some random live-cd.  None of those can install jessie :(

Thus, I'm afraid that fixing *new* copies of debootstrap is not enough,
and this bug needs to be solved in base-files or base-passwd.
