This is building a stretch nfsroot on a trusty server.

I've just run debootstrap manually as:

sudo debootstrap stretch test http://debian.catalyst.net.nz/debian

I: Retrieving Release 
I: Retrieving Packages 
I: Validating Packages
...
puck at trusty_server:~$ ls -l test/dev/pts
ls: cannot access test/dev/pts: No such file or directory
puck at trusty_server:~$ 

And building a jessie debootstrap, dev/pts does exist within it.

I've repeated building stretch on a sid host and dev/pts does exist
within it.

On both trusty and sid, /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/stretch and
jessie are all symlinks to the sid script.

Cheers,
