Josip suggested the install-doc package from boot-floppies, which sounds like an ideal location to me. Perhaps it would be a good idea to bump install-doc to standard (possibly with the PDF files split out), add it to debootstrap, and add a simple file or two of the utter-newbie "oh my God, how do I use this thing?" documentation that Chris suggested. install-doc would also be useful on standard installations due to things like the dselect tutorial.
