Primarily because its a port: https://www.debian.org/ports/ and https://www.debian.org/ports/arm/ . Other, lesser reasons include there's no documentation (follow the links above), and using non-port procedures fails sooner than the ports procedure: I: Running command: debootstrap --arch armel --foreign --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg --variant=buildd --exclude=debfoster unstable debian-armel http://ftp.debian.org/ I: Retrieving Release E: Failed getting release file http://ftp.debian.org/dists/unstable/Release I would be awesome if someone would clearly document the procedure.
