Hmm... if dbootstrap needs some LC_* or LANG env vars set prior to
running, I'm pretty sure none of that is being done on the non-i18n
root disks. Could you file a bug on this? Don't make it 'serious' or
higher though, it's not release blocking.

I have no idea what this problem is, you need to followup with a bad
bug -- it's either a dbootstrap or wget I think. There is I think a
known problem where we should be clearing out the downloaded release
files etc if debootstrap is run >1 times, though, which could be
handled perhaps by either dbootstrap or debootstrap.
