Use multistrap instead. Add the packages to include to the
configuration file and consider using packages from Emdebian Grip
instead of straight Debian.

      Example configuration (multistrap.conf):

[General]
arch=armel
directory=/tmp/multistrap/
# same as --tidy-up option if set to true
cleanup=true
# same as --no-auth option if set to true
# keyring packages listed in each debootstrap will
# still be installed.
noauth=false
# extract all downloaded archives (default is true)
unpack=true
# aptsources is a list of sections to be used for downloading packages
# and lists and placed in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/multistrap.sources.list
# of the target. Order is not important
aptsources=Emdebian
# the order of sections is not important.
# the debootstrap option determines which repository
# is used to calculate the list of Priority: required packages.
debootstrap=Debian Emdebian

[Emdebian]
packages=ifupdown udev procps netbase vim-tiny module-init-tools wget openssh-server screen apmd 
source=http://www.emdebian.org/grip
keyring=emdebian-archive-keyring
suite=lenny

[Debian]
packages=
source=http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian
keyring=debian-archive-keyring
suite=lenny

$ sudo multistrap -f multistrap.conf

multistrap is in Squeeze, so you need to be running Squeeze or Sid on
the box creating the multistrap. See multistrap (1) for more information.

There's a bug in multistrap 2.0.6 just uploaded to Sid, the version in
Squeeze is OK. I'll upload multistrap 2.0.7 to unstable tonight.
