I explored if building a suitable QEMU VM is possible, but it appears to be a deadlock: - People appear to be using the versatile boards [1] to emulate armel on QEMU. - Debian stopped supporting versatile boards in 2016 [2]. There's also a project automatically creating QEMU images for different Debian-supported architectures [3], but armel is marked "currently not working; I have no idea about how to make it work" :-D I also gave it a shot reproducing on a RPi Zero 2, but it's either too fast (even with cpulimit), or the issue is architecture-specific and does not manifest on ARMv7. Perhaps the last hope would lie on the maintainers of the armel installers, who *may* have a setup (physical or virtual) for testing.
