I can understand your point, but the manpage is rather clear about options being listed first. Checking the manpage instead of random tutorials might be a nice habit to have.

Bug#827822: Poor error message in debootstrap invocation
Package: debootstrap Severity: normal thanks If debootstrap is invoked like so: `sudo debootstrap jessie jessie --include=openssh-server` it errors out with `/usr/sbin/debootstrap: 314: set: Illegal option --`. The correct invocation is to move teh `--include` before `jessi`, but it'd be nice if a readable error message was emitted.
