Bug#693219: Doesn't mention --foreign in help output
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.42
Severity: minor
$ sudo debootstrap --arch=armhf sid sid-armhf ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/
fails with the errors
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /tmp/sid-armhf mount -t proc proc /proc
W: See /tmp/sid-armhf/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details
because I'm running on amd64. That's fine, but it would be helpful if
the --help output mentioned the "--foreign" option to stop this
happening. Maybe also pick up on the failure to run something in the
chroot if the arch specified doesn't match the native one and tell the
user about --foreign then?
