There are a lot of things the Debian installer configures when you answer those questions. Unless the Debian people have updated it, debootstrap doesn't give you a preliminary fstab and interfaces file among many other things. Those files then have to be created from scratch, which makes the installation take much longer. I prefer editing an existing file over creating it from scratch. Just my personal preference.
