debootstrap: 178: arithmetic expression: expecting EOF: "baseprog 1"

[Vitaly Chikunov]

Latest debootstrap from git fails to install oracular. This is needed by mkosi@v14 creating bootabel image.

debootstrap --variant=minbase --include=ca-certificates --merged-usr --components=main,universe --arch=amd64 oracular /var/tmp/mkosi-g57jkd8g/root http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

Exits with `2`, debootstrap.log:

/usr/local/bin/debootstrap: 178: arithmetic expression: expecting EOF: "baseprog 1"

Where `baseprog 1` is not an arithmetic expression.
