Comment (by gk):

 `bug_34242` (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_34242&id=e9fa09b87bd633f10cfeca2797839662138d5d39)
 has the changes up for review.

 However, it seems I still can't build containers successfully again. The
 `debootstrap-image` part is still failing, although differently now:
 {{{
 W: Failure trying to run: chroot "/var/tmp/tmp.HiqNC7Q599/base-image" dpkg
 --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/base-
 passwd_3.5.26_amd64.deb
 W: See /var/tmp/tmp.HiqNC7Q599/base-image/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for
 details
 }}}

 And the end of that log says:
 {{{

 Hrm.
