I *had* expected it until I saw [4]. <grin> or possibly <groan> ;/
I can see nothing in either
https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/debootstrap/debootstrap.8.en.html
or
https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap
indicating that was not a proper assumption. Yes the second makes use of 
chroot but is not clear to a new user the reason the author found it 
convenient.

That got me pointed in the right direction. In my case I want
linux-image-686-pae to match my existing system.

I'm in process of chasing down changes needed to reference local DVD 
rather than the ftp site.

os-prober is installed and functioning on the existing systems. As part 
of my self-educations and trouble shooting I've had as many as 4 
instances of Debian on my hard drive at one time.

Thank you.
