Hmm...I could try to. I had actually been considering a small patch to debootstrap to optionally use qemu static cpu architectures by auto-inserting the arch image into the debootstrap chroot when building for foreign cpu architectures, and hence to also enable this for pbuilder as well. What it could mean is that anyone will be able to potentially build archives and packages for any qemu supported cpu architecture as easily as for native architectures on x86 machines, rather than having to do so by first installing and running a separate GNU/Linux installation in the target architecture in a full qemu emulator session. So far I have successfully experimented with this for building arm packages and it has worked great and because the native kernel is called directly, hence performance is somewhat better than in a full qemu session, but I have not experimented with mips or other static qemu cpu architectures as yet.
