console-tools-libs is no longer in sid; it was replaced with libconsole
some weeks ago. I think you may have an obsolete copy of debootstrap:

debootstrap (0.1.17.29) unstable; urgency=medium
* [sid] libconsole has replaced console-tools-libs. (Closes: #195722)
* [sarge] libperl5.6 has been replaced by libperl5.8 . (Closes:
#195588)

> The grumpy user might accuse console-tools-libs of being the problem, but I decided to try another route. Install a chroot woody system, and upgrade that chroot system to sid using apt. During that upgrade apt shows that console-tools-libs will be removed. So I think the debootstrap script for sid needs to be updated. I will be happy to report this as a bug, but I wasn't sure which package to report on or if there was even a package or BTS placeholder for this. Any info would be great.
