That's the unstable version, I presume?
You'd have to install the unstable glibc if you'd want to do that.
Wouldn't advice that, though.
An easier solution is to make sure there's a deb-src line in your
/etc/apt/sources.list that points to unstable, and run the following
chain of commands:
apt-get update; apt-get install build-essential; apt-get build-dep
debootstrap; apt-get -b source debootstrap; dpkg -i debootstrap_0*deb
This should download the unstable sources for debootstrap, compile them,
and install them. After that, you should no longer have any problems
running debootstrap.
