Comment 7 for bug 2024483

The symlinks were dropped in the update because they were no longer necessary for debootstrap's internal use. I didn't count on the fact that the various callers of debootstrap would hard-code the use of the script argument.

We should fix this by restoring the symlinks that were dropped in the SRU.

Going forward, we will NOT be doing SRUs to add NEW symlinks to debootstrap. So to use tools on existing stable series to bootstrap newer series, those tools will need to be fixed to not hard-code the script argument. We have updated mk-sbuild for this. I have marked the pbuilder tasks on this bug "Won't fix" because I do not expect anyone to put in the effort to do an SRU of this universe package. But if someone does, it would be acceptable under SRU policy.
