I've commited your patch in SVN; even though it is not yet clear that
.bz2 data.tar are going to be accepted for base packages I see now
reason to now support it in debootstrap leaving this decision to FTP
masters.
Personally I think the size difference don't justify the complexity
that could involve to have a xz binary available in a foreign system
and like so I'm against it for base packages.
Cheers,
