Hello again, It has been ages since I last worked on this, but I finally got some time to make the script a bit more reasonable and share it in case anyone is interested in using it for generating a Debian fs for ARMv7.
It uses multistrap and I used it natively on Chromebook when it was still running Ubuntu. Checked it just now that it can generate something, after all this bitrot, so it should hopefully still work :) Links bellow.
