Steps to reproduce

 Start the installer normally (boot cdrom), use guided all disk partition.
 Installer always segfaults at the same place while installing base system step.

Minimal reproducer so far as prepared by @mjt0k:

wget http://www.corpit.ru/mjt/tmp/sparc64-debian-sid.vmlinuz
wget http://www.corpit.ru/mjt/tmp/sparc64-debian-sid.initrd

qemu-system-sparc64 -nographic -m 1G \
  -kernel sparc64-debian-sid.vmlinuz \
  -initrd sparc64-debian-sid.initrd \
  -append "root=none shell"

In guest:

while true; do dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile /bin/debian-archive-keyring_2023.4_all.deb | grep fault; done
