Thanks for this. This is actually a clever idea and should also work with
Debian Ports, i.e. the non-release architectures in Debian such as sparc64,
m68k and sh4.

For Debian Ports, there is only sid/unstable though and the FTP server is
a different one. Also, you need to include the package 
debian-ports-archive-keyring:

+  sudo qemu-debootstrap --arch=m68k --verbose \
+
--include=fakeroot,build-essential,libx11-dev,libxext-dev,libxrender-dev,libxtst-dev,libxt-dev,libcups2-dev,libfontconfig1-dev,libasound2-dev,libfreetype6-dev,libpng12-dev,debian-ports-archive-keyring
\
+       --resolve-deps sid /chroots/m68k 
http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/

I should give this a shot and if it works, it might be a good idea to add
the instructions for Debian Ports as well. Since I have some more patches
for m68k and co in the pipeline, I can actually test it for that ;-).

With current versions of qemu (either from git or Debian unstable), you should
even be able to build OpenJDK natively inside the emulated chroot. In Debian
Ports, we're heavily making use of qemu-user and qemu-system (for riscv64) to
build packages which hashelped finding and fixing tons of bugs in qemu (I have
alone reported countless bugs ;-)).
