debootstrap runs natively. It doesn't do cross-architecture installs
or cross-compilation.
The next major update will do cross-arch installs, but that still requires
a fair chunk of work to be done natively when you first boot into the
deboostrapped filesystem. If that's not okay, you probably want to look into
FAI.
