I am running an environment (currently on Trusty) which supports building packages for the current Ubuntu and Debian releases for a non-trivial user group. For various reasons, I cannot update to Xenial in a timely manner, and since Bionic is looming large, I want (and need) to prepare for that release in a timely manner.
Hence my requirement for a "debootstrap" to Bionic on Trusty. Since a "debootstrap" fails for problems with "dpkg", I created this bug report.
