Bug Description

[Impact]
* people can't easily debootstrap the current debian testing (buster) with the tools available in Ubuntu's stable

[Test case]
* `debootstrap buster foo` --> fail with a "suite buster not known message"

[Regression Potential]
* really, none.

[Other Info]
* this kind of change is routinely done in debootstrap, just adding support
  for new releases
* my proposed package also add support for "bullseye", i.e. buster+1, even if it will be released in who knows how many years… That's just being
pro-active, most probably xenial will still be supported when bullseye will be interesting.

When performing verification of SRU bugs it is required to specify the details of testing - even for trivial changes like these. We would at least like to know which versions have been tested and which steps performed as part of the test. Think of it like this: you need to convince the SRU team that the change was actually tested, since otherwise we might think you just switched the bug as-is.

...
For each of the ubuntu releases I installed the proposed packages from -proposed in a clean installation, and checked that I could successfully bootstrap a stretch and buster chroots, as well as chroot in and run an `apt update` (just to check it's not a completely busted chroot).

At any rate, they are so simple, with no regression potential at all that even if I didn't test them when I switched the tags, I would consider to accept them just by looking at the diff...

The verification of the Stable Release Update for debootstrap has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
