Unfortunately these are all out of support and there isn't a benefit to
provide bootstrapping support for ancient Ubuntu derivatives in Debian.

Thanks for documenting a workaround. FWIW, the right fix would be to
just add lucid to the list of distributions immediately before the *)
part where you commented out the problematic line. In that case the
variable set and setup_merged_usr would simply be skipped.

Kind regards
