I was refering to cdebootstrap.
No. Where did you read so? It simple install debians as default as possible.

As far as I got, you try to install debian. What do you expect to break?

What is standard in your opinion?
Debian-installer doesn't suite here. When you want to install debian within a 
running linux, you usually have an already partioned harddrive, booted kernel 
modules, running internet connection etc.
If you really want to use debian installer - what I really don't recommend, 
you may download the root.img floppy for your debian distribution and chroot 
into the containing initrd with /sbin/debian-installer as shell.
