Great. I trust you because the patch look clean. > The options "--arch" "--dist" "--mirror" should still work the same, > they are given to vserver as arguments to debootstrap.

Sounds like a good idea. I have thought about writing newvserver with debootstrap rules but this may be a better option. The shorter newvserver can be the better. I'll apply this patch now and see how people react.
