  * Fix EXTRACTOR_OVERRIDE: parameter not set (LP: #1971951)
  * Fix failures with "set -u"

While this fix looks appropriate to me for a development release, I don't think for an SRU it makes sense that we should change the debootstrap script to be safe under set -u when debootstrap itself never uses set -u. I think mmdebstrap should set +u before sourcing debootstrap scripts (it can set -u again afterwards) and that this would be a more appropriate change to SRU.

Okay. I marked the jammy SRU for debootstrap as won't fix and marked mmdebstrap as affected.

An upload of debootstrap to jammy-proposed has been rejected from the upload queue for the following reason: "Rejecting as per last comment".

Attached debdiff for jammy SRU for mmdebstrap. I forwarded this fix for mmdebstrap to josch via email.

josch prefers to have deboostrap support "set -eu" instead of mmdebstrap only using "set -e". So marking the bug for mmdebstrap in Ubuntu >= 22.10 (kinetic) as "Won't fix".

Ah, I thought I'd accepted this on my shift yesterday.
