Both methods (using d-i and using deboostrap or cdebootstrap directly) are valid methods to install a Debian system, though the debootstrap method is clearly for advanced users and probably only for specific use cases. I (still) don't have Martin's book, so I don't know what exactly you are referring to. Cheers, FJP
