I might add parenthetically that I entered dependency hell when trying to do a cross install of sarge. The effect was simply that debootstap simply did not install a lot of the base packages.
The solution was to use a program named cdebootstrap. I don't know what differentiates it from vanilla debootstrap other than it seems to be a lot smarter about handing dependencies.
