Yes, this is a known issue. It's unrelated, though, so no need to worry.

That's right. If you can make this happen again, please go to
/target/var/cache/apt/archives where you should find the newly-downloaded

That's strange. So it seems that debootstrap is somehow unable to re-
download the files after they have been erased.
Was there anything on the Alt-F4 virtual console?
