What is it that you are asking for?  The above commands install a
fully bootable Ubuntu system using debootstrap.  That is, the gist
provides a working base from which you can make changes.  For example,
here's a gist for Squeeze that I made after a few iterations of
changes.  It automates some the tasks that debootstrap does not
handle:

Debootstrap is quite nice in that I have been able to install a fully
bootable system in under 5 minutes.
