   A native multistrap can be used directly with chroot, so "multistrap"
   runs "dpkg --configure -a" at the end of the multistrap process,
   unless the ignorenativearch option is set to true in the General
   section of the configuration file.

So maybe ignorenativearch is what you are looking for?
