I tried ... and failed. Main reason was that the ubuntu debootstrap and 
the debian debootstrap do things a bit differently.

That's the way I did it too. Set up an ubuntu host and create a suitable 
nfsroot. Copy the nfsroot to the fai-server and forget about the ubuntu 
box. Took me a bit of work to rewrite the config-space, but now 
debian32, debian64, ubuntu32 and ubuntu64 all get installed from the 
same config space. Just choose which OS you want from PXE bootprompt and 
wait a bit until completion.
