I use "mk-sbuild" utility which debootstraps native,
"qemu-user-static" native (copies from host, and i believe by means of
qemu-debootstrap), and cross chroots for any debian/ubuntu/custom
releases.

Works very well. Not sure it's at all appropriate for debootstrap to
grow such / similar extra features. Most recently using it for arm64
qemu-user-static native chroots and arm64 cross-compilation chroots.

(mk-sbuild has other tricks up it's sleeve as well, like setting up
snapshots using lvm/overlayfs/aufs, opting-in to use eatmydata, add
custom sources etc.)
