Found the reason for this bug.

On July 8th a package called librust-winapi-dev was accepted in sid

It comes with a complete common-sense breaking "Provides:" line of
more than 57kB length, as it provides 1336 packages.
IMHO this is insane. 

However, cdebootstrap uses
libdebian-installer-0.116 to parse the package 
list and in libdebian-installer-0.116/src/parser_rfc822.c
I found:

#define READSIZE 16384

and I guess increasing this to 65536 will fix the problem
until someone else encouraged by what the debian rust team did
will use even longer lines :/

As the parser_rfc822.c is from the same author as cdebootstrap,
I won't open a separated bug on that.

Please fix as soon as possible. Thanks a bunch.
