This pull request fixes an AttributeError on Debian 10 by removing a print_verbose call for sys._base_executable in the Python bootstrap template. Feedback was provided to correct a typo in the CHANGELOG.md file, changing the Debian 10 codename from "Booster" to "Buster".
This attribute is not part of the Python public API and in Debian 10 Buster (OpenJDK 11, gcc 8.3.0) it seems to not be defined. This reverts one of the debug logging statements added in bazel-contrib#3667 Fixes bazel-contrib#3774

Preferably it would be better to not remove but to use getattr for this.
Suggested change
| print_verbose("bootstrap sys._base_executable:", sys._base_executable) | |
| print_verbose("bootstrap sys._base_executable:", getattr(sys, "_base_executable", "unknown")) |
