I don't think debootstrap tries to access the URL it is given *as is*. The
release file for "wheezy http://http.debian.net/debian" would be
http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/wheezy/Release
A quick look at the (squeeze) debootstrap code shows that a trailing slash
would, in fact, be removed before the value is used to construct the URLs to
access.

It was just my quick test before without the slash that lead me to believe the
value is incorrect.
