How about downloading base2_1.tgz (or base2_2.tgz if you want to go
straight to frozen) and untarring that into the new partition before
chrooting into it?
The whole process might look something like this:
1. Create the new partitions.
2. mke2fs them.
3. Mount them in the proper structure (e.g. the new / on /mnt/wherever,
then the new /usr on /mnt/wherever/usr, and so on).
4. cd /mnt/wherever
5. tar -xvvzf /path/to/base2_1.tgz
6. cp /etc/resolv.conf etc/
cp /etc/hosts etc/
echo "newhostname" > etc/hostname
7. chroot .
8. Mount proc, devpts, and whatever else if necessary.
9. Edit sources.list and apt-get to your heart's content (:
