Yes. I still think so.

I just installed debootstrap into my woody chroot :-)
"debootstrap sid" works but it does not work perfectly as I wished.
When I did "debootstrap sid":

In woody version, "sid" is symlinked to "woody" in
/usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/.
So command line "debootstrap sid" should work sort of OK.
But selected base and required package does not contain new things such
as coreutils. This is more of a bug inherent to the fact no one can
predict future. Unless Debian change its stable package upgrade
criteria, this type of bug will stay on the system.
I will think about it how to fix this situation. Partial upgrade of
debootstrap to unstable seems to be the only option to get this
working...
