With all respect, it isn't described with "debootstrap -h". Not every system with debootstrap installed has the man page installed. So my suggestion is only that "debootstrap -h" clarify the language, substituting something like "system to install" for "target system." Also, --arch on the command line doesn't mean the same thing as ARCH in the code - where it refers to the system it's being installed from (which in a chroot install is also the system it's being installed on - a "target" in a sense). So when the code fails with an "unable to determine the architecture" error, and it's "ARCH" in the code that's having the problem, and there's an "--arch" flag at the prompt - well, as I said I'm not the only person who had ended up confused by that.
