Package: mmdebstrap
Version: 1.5.4-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
Would it be posisble to use apt/dpkg from host architecture to resolve
dependencies and unpacking which does not need to run on the same architecture
(avoiding qemu and possibly speeding up the process). Possibly using --root
option of dpkg to install into target chroot. postinst would still need to use
qemu as it will need run in the target arch.
