As you correctly noticed, this is a bug/fault in debootstrap.
I don't think individual packages should work around that, so I'm 
included to close this as wontfix (or reassign/merge to debootstrap).

Fwiw, you might use an alternative debootstrap tool like mmdebstrap 
which works properly in that regard.
