The debootstrap from devuan is safe to install. It differs only in
having a few bugfixes. Besides, you can always grab the package from
wheezy and overwrite.

Anyway, sorry if there is too much 'tech talk'. Try looking at this
forum thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/how-to-install-debian-using-debootstrap-4175465295/

A debootstrap system install has three stages, which you must complete
to get a working system. It's not running debootstrap multiple times,
but more like running debootstrap's flow(?)

Perhaps it helps more :)
