1) just use '--architecture armhf' instead of using 2 --deboostrapopts
2) armhf is not in the main mirror archive.ubuntu.com, but it's in
   ports.ubuntu.com.  This is nothing where pbuilder can help, it just
   uses the default MIRRORSITE configuration item which is either
   archive.u.c or whatever you have on /etc/pbuilder/pbuilderrc.  So
   just specify '--mirror http://ports.ubuntu.com' on the pbuilder
   command line and it'll work.

This should be more than enough to bring you in the right track that
what's wrong is just a configuration/calling problem.


That said, I did not try to set up such chroot myself, but I'm confident
it'll work.  if there are still troubles because you're using some
foreign architecture you'll need to use stuff like qemu-debootstrap(1).
