Bug#728810: debootstrap: --arch option is broken

[Mislav Blazevic <krofnica996@gmail.com>]

Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.55
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to install i386 Debian system with following command:
debootstrap --arch i386 jessie .
After installation finished I chrooted into it and noticed that it actually installed amd64 Debian.
(after chroot .) uname -m outputs x86_64 which is not expected behaviour.
