I checked the script and it does in fact do:
if [ ! -e /usr/sbin/debootstrap ]; then
mkdir /tmp/debootstrap
cd /tmp/debootstrap
wget -O debootstrap.deb $URL_DEBOOTSTRAP
ar xv debootstrap.deb
So you would have to delete /usr/sbin/debootstrap manually before running
it again to get it to download a new version. Yours is stuck using the
squeeze version now.
