Quick command for this:

  debootstrap --variant=minbase --keyring \
    /usr/share/keyrings/debian-ports-archive-keyring.gpg  \
    unstable TARGET_DIR \
    http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/


The state of the transition can be tracked from the following URL,
thanks to James Clarke that set it up:
  https://ben.jrtc27.com/html/riscv64-libffi.html


Unrelated, but also news: riscv64 is now listed from the main pages of
the Debian website, mainly:

-  https://www.debian.org/ports/index.en.html

-  https://packages.debian.org/sid/aptitude
   (bottom of the page, versions and links to download packages directly)
