There is no problem in skipping Chapter 8, you can always do that later.
If you want to install software, you can do it from your Debian Installation -
you just use Chroot (Just like when you installed the LFS-System).

One thing though - until you get Wget, Lynx or similar program installed, you
have to download software with you Debian, and then copy the software packages
into the LFS system.
I installed many BLFS packages in chroot, but when I tried downloading
them with wget, it failed with this message: "unable to resolve host
address ‘www.x.org’", so I had to download them in the host system. I
assume this is because I was connected to the internet in the host
system but not in chroot (in particular, my /etc/resolv.conf is
generated by dhcpcd, which was not running in chroot). Is it possible
to connect to the internet in chroot while being connected in the host
system? (I suppose I could just try that sometime, but maybe someone
here happens to know the answer.)

Just manually copy /etc/resolv.conf from your host to chroot.
