Steve I'm sorry but I cannot reproduce this. I have verified this
countless of times during working on this and I am also unable to verify
this here:

Your debootstrap log looks fine, it extracts base-files first. At this point,
/tmp/nobletest should be empty. Unless I suppose you use a old broken version
of debootstrap that used to create the symlinks before extracting the packages?

Bug description:
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 against any up-to-date Ubuntu public archive
mirror as of today.
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.
