Ok.. No docs pointed that out.

I think it would be a net loss of complexity to roll this into
debootstrap. Unless there are a lot of other qemu-user-static like
things that this might slippery slope debootstrap into being responsible
for, but that seems unlikely.

The existence of wrappers like this that use --foreign do argue that a
new switch should be needed for this behavior. Something like
--with-qemu
