Sid is currently not installable due to broken dependencies (related to 
apt, so a failure on apt-utils is logical). To work around this: install 
testing (squeeze) and upgrade to sid afterwards.

You could have seen that for yourself by checking debootstrap's log file:
/Version/Sid/debootstrap/debootstrap.log
