+  * Create /dev/ptmx like debootstrap does (Closes: #911334): When the chroot is
+    created from the Docker image debian:unstable, /dev/ptmx is missing.
+    Piuparts was creating it with a bindmount to ptx/ptmx which leads
+    scripts/pre_remove_50_find_bad_permissions to complain about
+    "BAD PERMISSIONS" on /dev/ptmx. Now created with mknod, failing back to a
+    symlink
