Same here, but after some poking in the sources it seems it's not that
simple to achieve.
At least for me however it was good enough if I could provide some
Debian packages by filename or URL on debootstrap's command line,
somewhat similar to the --extra-package option of sbuild. These packaged
would be installed unconditionally, possibly overriding any package
found on the provided mirror. However, validation of any signatures does
not take place.
Using some naughty hackery this can already be done in the current
version, and even in the Debian installer.
