Same here:
# debootstrap --verbose --resolve-deps --arch i386 sid fooooo
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian

# echo $?
1
Inside fooooo/debootstrap/debootstrap.log I can find:
[...]
update-alternatives: error: alternative path /bin/ed doesn't exist.
dpkg: error processing ed (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
ed
[...]
which is a result of #531461. Would be nice if the output of
debootstrap is more verbose, especially when using --verbose.
