Yes. That is an oddity in between the buildds and other efforts (like
Reproducible Builds, OBS). In our case, the same build failure is seen
on an OBS build setup, which creates a chroot on-the-fly for the target
build platform. It isn't identical to what buildds do but we try to
keep it as close to it as possible.

Oh! Great. I did see the new version and the bug report against it. I
wasn't sure if it would be targeted for Bullseye. Now that you have
confirmed, I'll wait for it to be fixed, built and transitioned to
Testing.
