Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.15
Severity: important
Tags: patch
debootstrap currently fails to create a squeeze chroot. The log
output shows that readline-common depends either on dpkg >= 1.15.4
(which is not yet in squeeze) or on install-init (which isn't being
installed), so it fails.
If I add
--include=install-init
to the command line to break the cycle it works correctly.

I cannot reproduce the problem for the amd64 architecture using a current
mirror. What architecture did you see this for and what mirror did you
use?
I do see that dpkg 1.15.4 is indeed not in testing yet.

That is not the correct solution. It is fine as a workaround, but certainly
not something to apply to debootstrap as a patch.
It sounds as if this one will resolve itself naturally when the new version
of dpkg migrates to testing. I'm closing your bug report as there really
is no problem in debootstrap itself, but CCing debian-release who may be
able to speed up the migration of dpkg (and are probably responsible for
breaking the dependencies in the first place).
Please send the full debootstrap log to the debian-release mailing list so
they may check the exact cause of the problem.
Cheers,
FJP
