Comments/Problems:
1. Boot - I attached an ancient IBM VGA monitor for the installation since it would run headless afterwards. When entering just "net" at the boot: prompt, the kernel would load correctly, but the monitor would show garbage once d-i started. D-I's colors were distinguishable on the screen, but I believe the sync frequency was too high for this monitor. Perhaps disable FB by default, since it doesn't appear to be used by the installer in any special way?
2. While it was downloading the base system packages (window title "Retrieving Packages"), it intermittently printed the literal "Verifying %s..." instead of substituting the current package name for %s.
3. "Base system installation error" - Main display read "The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 127)." and suggested looking at the log. Here is the tail of /target/var/log/debootstrap.log:
----------deboostrap.log:
Setting up libtextwrap1 (0.1-1) ...
Setting up tasksel (1.40) ...
Errors were encountered while processing: libopencdk8 libgnutls7 exim4-daemon-light mailx at exim4 /usr/sbin/debootstrap: 1: sleep: not found -------------- Note that /target/var/log/debootstrap.err.log was of size 0
