I think I've managed to get the answer by trawling thru the repo, as
no versions listed against armel or anything else , just all.
I'm now beginning to suspect debootstrap is broken.
I see that v 1.48 is listed as the latest version, but I used 1.60 as
its the same version listed on this machine, and I've assumed the man
page is correct.
from man page
--no-check-gpg
Disables checking gpg signatures of retrieved Release files.
I've edited the kirkwood.debian-wheezy shell to load v 1.60 from the
repo.
DEB_MIRROR="http://cdn.debian.net/debian";

PKGDETAILS_URL="$MIRROR/debian/pkgdetails"

#DEBOOTSTRAP_VERSION=$(wget -q "$DEB_MIRROR/pool/main/d/debootstrap/?C=M;O=D" -O- | grep -o 'debootstrap[^"]*all.deb' | head -n1)

URL_DEBOOTSTRAP="$DEB_MIRROR/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.60_all.deb"
BUT
when running it, it still produces
