Hi Josch,
I found yet another corner case with foreign chrootless:
| $ dpkg --print-architecture
| amd64
| $ mmdebstrap --variant=extract --mode=chrootless --architectures=armhf
--include=ncurses-base -v sid target http://deb.debian.org/debian
| I: armhf cannot be executed, falling back to qemu-user
| I: running apt-get update...

This time around, mmdebstrap fails during cleanup. Close to the end
around line 1688 it checks whether we use qemu. Unless the mode is proot
or fakechroot, it cleans up the qemu binary. It turns out that
chrootless is neither proot nor fakechroot, so qemu gets cleaned up.
However it was never set up, because qemu is not needed for the
chrootless mode. The qemu cleanup should also be skipped for chrootless.
Please consider applying the attached patch.
