That doesn't help. Looking at dpkg --predep-package, it just picks up
some pre-dependency package, without any particular order beyond the
hash table, so we can't have a guarantee that base-opensysusers gets
installed before cron-daemon-common. And the dependencies are resolved
by debootstrap by looking only at the *first* alternative (see in
functions, elif [ "$1" = "GETDEPS" ]), I guess this is made so that the
installed set is controlled. I.e. a Provides will not be the way
debootstrap wants to operate.
Another way that was suggested on irc is to hardcode something this:
diff --git a/scripts/debian-common b/scripts/debian-common
index 4a25654..cb4dbdd 100644
--- a/scripts/debian-common
+++ b/scripts/debian-common
@@ -75,6 +75,18 @@ work_out_debs () {

first_stage_install () {
That's quite ugly but I currently don't really see another way?
