The status update:

The root cause of the problem is character ':' in file name of packages.
The debootstrap can't process such file name during installation and report about the packages as missing.
Looks like we have a package on our mirrors
bsdutils_1%3a2.20.1-1ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb
Which after processing (building ISO) it is saved as
bsdutils_1:2.20.1-1ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb
and this file name saved in the Packages (file describing the packages in the repository).

After fixing this issue with ":" in names (removing from the file name '1:' characters) met another issue, what investigating now.
( see as an example how the packages kept in Ubuntu repo
