A dependency trace is a powerful tool to debug issues related to APT's selection of packages, especially in custom mode.

Thus it makes sense to ask APT to output a dependency trace when mmdebstrap is run with the --debug flag.

We never need this if apt succeeds, correct? If yes, and this is only about figuring out why apt failed to do what it was asked to do, then instead we should add some code that, if apt fails, runs apt again with better options and dumps the EDSP.

Personally, I also used this to understand why certain packages were brought it. In that case apt did not error out, but did not produce the result I was expecting.

That would be great, but I'm afraid it's above my current knowledge of mmdebstrap.
