Bootstrap a basic Debian system
debootstrap is used to create a Debian base system from scratch,
without requiring the availability of dpkg or apt. It does this by
downloading .deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them
into a directory which can eventually be chrooted into.

that points the user to the log file. Attempt to grep out the first
package that dpkg failed on and show its name too. Closes: #472704
