Hi, I believe this isn't a bug, at least not presently. I've vagly reviewed the deboostrap source ( git://git.debian.org/d-i/debootstrap.git ) and the ar command is supposed to exist in the path.
So today this is the situation: 1 - deboostrap is already a package in fedora ( http://pkgs.org/fedora-rawhide/fedora-i386/debootstrap-1.0.27-1.fc15.noarch.rpm.html ) with the binutils dependency (where ar exists) 2 - the debian installation manual referes that ar and wget is suposed to be installed if they don't exist in the system already ( http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apds03.html ) My recomendation: close the bug.
