It's exceptionally frustrating.

It's been a while since it was solved upstream such that when a domain is terminated, the image ownership gets restored to what it was when the domain was launched. However, the way it tracks the original ownership is by storing it in xattr's of the image... but we've been passing --without-attr since 2014, due to a test failure on the Debian buildd's, and without attr, no ownership memory.

Back when it was added I guess it didn't make much of a difference, but now it's preventing this bug from being solved. The package builds just fine on our buildd's (at least in my PPA).

Attached debdiff to fix this.
