Package: mmdebstrap
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-Cc: jo...@debian.org
The functionality of lsb-base is in the Essential:yes set since
Bullseye. The package itself is now an empty transitional package
(because debootstrap doesn't understand the Provides relationship) which
depends on the new provider of the functionality, sysvinit-utils, which
is also in the Essential:yes set.
The problem is, that this empty package is only installed by debootstrap
because its resolver is not clever enough to realize that its
installation can be avoided. The resolver used by mmdebstrap (apt) does
not draw in the useless empty lsb-base package, thus resulting in a
difference between the chroots created by debootstrap and mmdebstrap
that makes the mmdebstrap test suite not succeed:

Instead of adding a hack to mmdebstrap, lets correct all packages in the
Priority:important set that still carry a useless dependency on
lsb-base:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ifupdown/-/merge_requests/12
https://salsa.debian.org/md/kmod/-/merge_requests/9
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/procps/-/merge_requests/6
There is also a proposed lintian message deprecating the use of lsb-base
in dependencies:

Thanks!
cheers, josch
