I was trying to help someone yesterday with deboostrap and it seemed
that debootstrap 0.2.x from amd64 sarge works perfectly (at least to
debootstrap i386 sarge), while 0.3.x from sid is rather broken.

So perhaps try debootstraping sarge i386, and then dist-upgrading if you
want sid, or try debootstrap package from stable, or try cdebootstrap.
With allt he transitions and package changes in sid, it's hard for
debootstrap to keep up at all times.
