BTW: debootstrap is just a Bash script in /usr/sbin. Sometimes it helps to look under the hood at what it's doing.
I don't want GPT and I want to install into a specific existing partition on my nvme so I'm running debootstrap manually. I've used it before a few times. It hit an error in stage 1 and stopped I guess. I came back and tried to do stage 2 but it stopped, looking for debootstrap/suite. Looking at the source I see SUITE is a variable in debootstrap which gets written out to debotstrap/suite at the end of stage 1 and stage 2 looks for it.
