After a closer look, while debootstrap succeeds, it leaves a broken system
behind. One needs to add unreleased to repository list and run apt-get -f
install to get the missing libdb4.3 installed.

Now we are in the completly ridiculous situation that a freshly
debootstrapped sid system needs 3 versions of berkley database
installed.

thecus:/# dpkg --get-selections|grep libdb
libdb4.2                                        install
libdb4.3                                        install
libdb4.4                                        install
thecus:/#

...Of which only libdb4.4 is really necessary. Sigh.
