Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The last couple of days, I have been unable to run a successful debootstrap 
for Noble Numbat.

  Apparently this is caused by the addition of symlinks (/bin, /lib,
  /lib64 and /sbin) in base-files 13ubuntu7. According to
  debootstrap.log, it fails to extract said symlinks because they
  already exist at that point.

  This can be reproduced on build hosts running Jammy Jellyfish against
  any up-to-date Ubuntu public archive mirror as of today.

  # lsb_release -a
  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID:       Ubuntu
  Description:  Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
  Release:      22.04
  Codename:     jammy

  # apt-cache policy debootstrap
  debootstrap:
    Installed: 1.0.126+nmu1ubuntu0.5
    Candidate: 1.0.126+nmu1ubuntu0.5
    Version table:
   *** 1.0.126+nmu1ubuntu0.5 500

  Attached shell output of two runs of debootstrap. First run uses
  mirror archive.ubuntu.com (which as of this report serves base-files
  version 13ubuntu7), and second run uses a local custom mirror (which
  serves base-files 13ubuntu6). First run fails, second run succeeds.

  [Test plan]
  Successfully for each of focal, jammy, mantic, noble
  - debootstrap
  - mk-sbuild
  - pbuilder-dist $release create
  - ubuntu-image, if we can pull debootstrap from proposed for this

  as well as

  - debootstrap noble --merged-usr

  [Where problems could occur]
  We do not anticipate any regressions as we replace the previous *) case for 
usrmerge for post-hirsute with a new jammy|kinetic|lunar|mantic one, and the 
new solution will only impact noble and onward.

  That said, this is a different approach than mantic and newer take,
  and a different approach than Debian takes, where they moved to
  merging post-extraction, even in stable releases.
