While reproducing here
| $ debootstrap --arch=armhf --foreign --verbose --keyring=keyrings/raspbian-archive-keyring.gpg buster /tmp/debootstrap-test http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/
| bash: debootstrap: opdracht niet gevonden
| $ sudo debootstrap --arch=armhf --foreign --verbose --keyring=keyrings/raspbian-archive-keyring.gpg buster /tmp/debootstrap-test http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/
| E: specified keyring file (keyrings/raspbian-archive-keyring.gpg) not found
| $ 

Please elaborate where to get raspbian-archive-keyring.


Other thing:  Can you `wget` the Release file?
