No, the last three are not errors. They tend to get printed at the end
of debootstrap runs a lot, but they are *not* what causes base-installer
to fail.

These irrelevant umount messages do not cause the problem.
base-installer is reporting earlier errors, and we always have to ask
people to go and look further back in the log rather than just giving us
the last couple of lines. If the umount failures were a problem, then
you'd only see the first one before it fell over, not all three.
See bug #253468.
