 There's another consequence of this bug. Later on, after the 
 (Ubuntu noble) chroot has had more packages (e.g. apparmor) 
 installed, I see this: 
  
     # aa-enforce --no-reload /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.dnsmasq 
  
     ERROR: Syntax Error: Unknown line found in file /etc/apparmo 
 .d/local/usr.sbin.rsyslogd line 1: 
         /bin/systemd-tmpfiles 
  
 That file was created during the debootstrap process, by the postinst 
 script of the rsyslog package, relevant excerpt below: 
  
         # Add the local/ include 
         LOCAL_APP_PROFILE="/etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.rsyslogd" 
  
         test -e "$LOCAL_APP_PROFILE" || { 
             mkdir -p `dirname "$LOCAL_APP_PROFILE"` 
             install --mode 644 /dev/null "$LOCAL_APP_PROFILE" 
         } 
  
 Since /dev/null was a non-empty regular file at the time, the "install" 
 command copied its contents (the "/bin/systemd-tmpfiles" line) to the 
 destination. Obviously, the intended result was an empty file. 
  
 Comparing the chroot to one generated on a classic (root-ful) Docker 
 host, I did not find that any other files were created incorrectly in 
 this way. However, this will be a problem for any distro whose package 
 scripts use /dev/null as a source rather than a sink.
