The attached patch includes a fix so that debootstrap can be run in a
single patch. Currently, this fails:
debootstrap --arch=amd64 buster $(mktemp -d) http://deb.debian.org/debian
With this in the log:
/gnu/store/ah0rr88xmn28f32whhpbdcxwind0c74z-debootstrap-1.0.114/share/debootstrap/functions:
line 1056: chroot: command not found

/gnu/store/ah0rr88xmn28f32whhpbdcxwind0c74z-debootstrap-1.0.114/share/debootstrap/functions:
line 1062: sed: command not found
The workaround documented in the package description is to use
--foreign-arch and then follow up with a chroot call into to the newly
created chroot and finish up running /debootstrap/debootstrap, but this
fails for other reasons as well (/bin/sh in /debootstrap/debootstrap is
set to /gnu/store.../bin/sh which isn't present in the Debian
chroot)... and is a bit cumbersome for the end-user.
I *think* the best fix for this is to fix the hard-coded PATH in several
places places to also include $PATH, which I've proposed upstream:
https://bugs.debian.org/929889
The attached patch approximates the proposed upstream patch for guix,
and works for me so you can do a single call to debootstrap without the
complicated chroot /debootstrap/debootstrap PATH-setting dance.
live well,
vagrant

It LGTM, and I think we can trust your judgment anyway. ;-)
Thank you,
