since that file hasn't been updated since 2006, I'd say a bug report
is in order. 

As I read it, it wants all priority-required and priority-important
packages except libtasn1-2-bin and libtasn1-3-bin. *I* would just
remove the libtasn1-2-bin line and see what happens. 

I would also file a bug report as cdebootstrap shouldn't fail when
you exclude a package that doesn't exist, IMO.
