What exactly are you trying to do?

Exec format error means that the executed binary is of a type the
running kernel is unable to execute or is broken by some other means.

Why do you specify an architecture?

Well, try to run any arm binary on i386, it will not work.

Only the debugging output will show what really happens, and my own try
shows:

| P: Extracting tar
| D: Execute "tar -xz -C /root/test -f -"
| D: Return code: 0
| D: call action: mount
| D: call action: dpkg-install
| D: Execute "dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/bootstrap/dpkg_1.15.5.5_amd64.deb" 
in chroot

So it tries to execute dpkg the first time after extracting tar.

The Debian architecture "arm" is different to "armel".

This is no Debian kernel and not supported by any means since Lenny.
