It is well-known that debootstrap has issues with complex dependency
resolution. It does not resolve dependencies like apt.

Any of these options work for me:-

 - debootstrap --exclude=logrotate,cron,cron-daemon-common

 - debootstrap --variant=minbase

 - mmdebstrap

mmdebstrap uses apt for dependency resolution specifically to get around issues like this.

I will look more into why the raw debootstrap fails, but I suspect it originates
in Debian and may be difficult for us to address in Devuan.
