I've committed a fix upstream for the debootstrap glitches.
Don't use console-data any more; instead, use 'dpkg-reconfigure console-
setup'. I've updated Edgy's installation-guide package for this.
unicode-data is also unnecessary unless it's pulled in as a dependency
of something else you need.
'dpkg-reconfigure locales' is unnecessary. I've updated Edgy's
installation-guide package to describe language pack installation.
I've made the chroot-install documentation a bit more verbose about how
to install grub, although I'm not sure about the missing devices you
had.
The ubuntu-standard task does exist; I just got the tasksel invocation
wrong. Try 'sudo tasksel install ubuntu-standard; sudo tasksel install
ubuntu-desktop' instead. Fixed in Edgy.
I'll leave this bug open, since it's certainly true that this
documentation hasn't been tested in a while, and it should be.

* Various fixes to chroot-install guide (see Malone #64765):
- Adjust chroot-install guide to take account of debootstrap being
Architecture: all now (backported from trunk).
- Reconfigure console-setup, not console-data.
- Point to language packs rather than suggesting reconfiguring locales.
- Add a bit more advice about installing grub.
- Fix tasksel instructions.
