The same bug is present with old Debian releases:

nonworking:
debootstrap squeeze squeeze

working:
debootstrap squeeze squeeze http://archive.debian.org/debian/

Bug#839073: Change archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com

[Jeremy Hasty]

Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.78

The scripts to bootstrap older versions of Ubuntu refer to
archive.ubuntu.com which is no longer available:

default_mirror http://archive.ubuntu.com/

E: Failed getting release file
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/Release

The new URL is old-releases.ubuntu.com.  May I please request the
scripts be updated?

Thank you for your help and attention to this matter.

Respectfully,
