If _apt deserves a special solution, I would suggest assigning the
_apt user a static uid instead of patching debootstrap.

it seems to me the simplest approach, from a technical point of view,
and it's the one I'm using since _apt user was introduced (making sure
uids match)

Adding deity@l.d.o. APT maintainers, please see the context in the bug. Do you think there should be logic in debootstrap to handle the case of trying to have the same UID within a chroot and outside, or could you apply for a static UID assignment? I would also prefer the latter, but I honestly don't know how messy the migration would be...

(If so, I guess this bug should be reassigned to apt.)

Kind regards and thanks
