I've added a release note to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes (since I don't know when
the debootstrap bug might be fixed):

== Bootstrapping on old kernels ==

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS cannot currently be bootstrapped (using `debootstrap`)
on a system running a kernel prior to 2.6.22, due to a bug in tar and
the inability of `debootstrap` to use the fix in `lucid-updates`.
(Bug:539814)

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-notes
       Status: Triaged => Fix Released
