Package: python3-virtualenv
Version: 20.17.1+ds-1
Severity: important

Hi,

as funny as the subject might sound, this took a while to track
down. :) Reporting this, since this might bite other folks as well,
and I also have STR.

The behavior that was present until and incl. bullseye was as
follows (newlines between command lines added by myself to make it
easier to read/parse/follow):

| % podman run --pull=always --rm -i -t debian:bullseye bash
| root@9b5d718485de:/# cd

So everything fine, no problems.

But on bookworm, this doesn't behave as such any longer:

| % podman run --pull=always --rm -i -t debian:bookworm bash

So the re-execution of `virtualenv` for some reason removes the
debian directory of python-debian on the filesystem. :-/
To highlight this from another run:
