Description-en: Bootstrap a basic Debian system
debootstrap is used to create a Debian base system from scratch,
without requiring the availability of dpkg or apt. It does this by
downloading .deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them
into a directory which can eventually be chrooted into.

You've got the wrong base URL there for the Debian archive; try
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/
instead and it should work:
tack:~/tmp$ sudo debootstrap --arch armel --foreign --keyring
/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg --exclude=debfoster
unstable debian-armel http://ftp.debian.org/debian/
