target is explaned in debootstrap's manual page, in the very first
line of the description.
With all respect, it isn't described with debootstrap -h. Not every system
with debootstrap installed has the man page installed. So my suggestion is
only that debootstrap -h clarify the language,
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.35
debootstrap was install per the manual install method in section D.3.2.

Just to verify my memory, I checked the history, and all test invocations
indeed were:

http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian
(aside from also trying --arch amd64)
Sorry again for the stray / in the report.

That is the meaning here: on which machine you will run the installed
