base-files (7.9) unstable; urgency=low
* The change introduced in version 7.7 regarding /mnt seems to break
the ability of debootstrap currently in wheezy to create a sid chroot.
The case of initial install of /mnt is already handled by postinst line
"install_directory mnt 755 root" inside the big "if" block that
creates a bunch of other things, so we can restrict re-creating the /mnt
directory on upgrades to the case when we are really upgrading.
Therefore, the code is moved to the same "if" block where /etc/profile
and /etc/nsswitch.conf are upgraded to their new defaults when unchanged.
This might help as a workaround for Bug#766459.
