This also affects cdebootstrap, I tried this with directory "Test 1" and I set it to use my local archive mirror at 8080:

$ sudo cdebootstrap --allow-unauthenticated --arch amd64 artful Test\ 1/ http://localhost:8080/ubuntu

So it looks like it's not built to catch directories with spaces, I wonder if this is related to debootstrap's problem.
