Update: a new fakeroot and a new debhelper have been accepted into
hirsute to fix this. We then found out the fakeroot did not fix riscv64,
but we now have a fix there too.

We've uploaded rebuilds of the affected packages. These will need to now
be retried on riscv64.

A few broken packages managed to migrate to the release pocket of
hirsute unfortunately. We'll be trying to get all the fixed versions
migrated over as a priority.

After this is done we'll look to reopen the archive again and re-enable
auto-sync.

Thanks for your patience!
