You need to (somehow) get a copy of debootstrap,
make a filesystem on a file, loopback mount it (say, as /srv/debian)
and do:
sudo debootstrap lenny /srv/debian http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian
which will create a very minimal system in /srv/debian. From there
it's a matter of installing stuff with aptitude.
If you manage to get a copy of debootstrap running on fedora, this
should be relatively easy...
