Nevermind, error was due to an unnoticed ENOCOFFEE

Title:
  deboostrap --variant=fakechroot fails with "E: Failed getting release
  file http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/Release"

Status in “debootstrap” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In the process of removing root privileges from things that ideally
  wouldn't need it, we discovered that debootstrap seems to have lost
  the ability to be run under fakeroot.

  The documented procedure is to run it via "fakeroot fakechroot
  debootstrap --variant=fakechroot ...", but this fails almost
  immediately with "E: Failed getting release file
  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/Release".  Running
  without the fake<foo> invocations works fine.
