I would have expected that buildds use debootstrap from unstable, but
I'm not a buildd admin, so I trust you to know more about that then me.
Thanks for correcting me on that and sorry if that caused confusion.

Still, in the hopefully not too distant future, we will have such a
debootstrap in stable, so it's probably a good idea to be prepared for
that by then. TTBOMK, there are no plans to forcefully upgrade systems
to a merged-usr setup on stretch → buster upgrades.

Regards,
Michael
