Then this would be another reason to switch over to mmdebstrap.

I also hope, that we can configure mmdebstrap to use package caches and
apt retries and rate limits. With the recent hickups of the
snapshots.d.o, we really need a solution that is robust. Otherwise we
cannot build against snapshots in CI.

Anyways, I wouldn't spend too much effort into repairing debootstrap,
while most people seem to use mmdebstrap these days anyways.
