I just ran a test run of debootstrap here and it completes without errors.
This error resembles the ones reported last summer when the Debian admins were working on upgrading libc and gcc. I wonder if maybe there was just an unbalanced update when you tried your run that had been fixed by the time I ran mine.
That might be so because your error log is reporting: dpkg: libc6: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you request:
libc6 depends on tzdata; however:
Package tzdata is not installed.
And my install reports tzdata is installed correctly.
I'd recommend giving debootstrap another clean run. Reformat the partition, remount it and restart debootstrap.
FYI for future use, rather than rerun the command by hand, just check the error log in /mnt/hda8/myamazingdistro/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for detailed information.
