Right,  from exec_debootstrap()

        /* redirect stdout and stderr to /dev/tty4 */
        freopen("/dev/tty4", "w", stderr);
        dup2(2,1);

I suppose the freopen fails, so stdout/stderr will remain on the console.
Maybe we could write it to /target/tmp/debootstrap.log on a serial
console system?
