Did you try debootstrap with init-system-helpers 1.65.2 in unstable? I could reproduce the problem; "debootstrap --print-debs unstable unstable https://deb.debian.org/debian"; or similar should be sufficient to show the problem. I wrote a possible patch for debootstrap in [1], but being debootstrap we might need to have it in stable as well. Maybe someone has other ideas as well.
