yes, I was aware of the introduction of libcrypt, that's why I uploaded 0.5.1-3
which addresses precisely this change. My naive assumption was, that once
libcrypt migrates to testing, mmdebstrap would migrate just fine.

Thanks a lot for opening this bug report because apparently I have a
misunderstanding about how our CI and migration work together with automatic
migration and maybe you can help me clear up my understanding of it? :)

Thanks!
