The reason why it doesn't work is that the package qemu-user-binfmt on Debian SID lacks the files /usr/share/binfmts/qemu-* - so the binfmt emulation is not installed. When I copy the files /usr/share/binfmts/qemu-* from Debian 12 to Debian SID, running programs for different architectures work.
The binfmt-support files should not be in qemu packages, qemu does not ship them for quite some time. You can trivially see in the list of files qemu-user-binfmt package installs what is used to configure binfmt support. Also by looking at depends/recommends of this package, you wont notice binfmt-support package, which is for a reason, - obviously if we used binfmt-support, we'd mention it there somewhere. Maybe you need to run systemd-binfmt to register the newly installed binfmts, but I assume it should be done automatically by systemd by using a trigger for /usr/lib/binfmt.d/, - but this is not a qemu issue.
