Hi KatolaZ,

alas, it doesn't! I already hinted at that in my previous message buried
deep in the thread with the inappropriate subject. As a minimal example
suitable for easy reproduction, on

  $ uname -srv ; lsb_release -irc
  Linux 4.18.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.18.6-1~bpo9+1 (2018-09-13)
  Distributor ID:    Devuan
  Release:    2.0
  Codename:    ascii

performing a simple

$ sudo debootstrap --verbose ceres ./ceres http://deb.devuan.org/merged

bails out while extracting util-linux_2.32.1-0.1+devuan1_amd64.deb, leaving
the following lines in debootstrap.log:

tar: ./bin/su: Cannot open: File exists
tar: ./etc/pam.d/su: Cannot open: File exists
tar: ./usr/share/man/man1/su.1.gz: Cannot open: File exists
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

So there clearly is some kind of inconsistency in present ceres which makes
debootstrap reproducible go belly-up.

HTH, best regards,
Urban
