Okay. First, can you just confirm which version of boot-floppies you were
using?

I meant "debugging" in a fairly generic sense, as in figuring out what's wrong.
A good place to start would be to run the install up to the point where the
error occurs, then go to a shell prompt and inspect the Release file that
debootstrap claims is malformed, to see whether it was successfully downloaded
and contains a valid Components line.
