cross install debian with debootstrap?

I'd like to create debian root filesystem images (sarge,
etch) for ARM
on a x86 host.

something like:

# scratchbox
# mkdir foo
# fakeroot debootstrap --arch arm sarge foo http://ftp.debian.org/de
bian

I tried, without success so far- could it be done with some
minor
tweaking, or am I just wasting my time?

ps. Alternative approaches are welcome too!

Thanks

The problem is, that even with fakeroot, you can't chroot
(needs real root 
privileges), and debootstrap tries to chroot. However, 
since /targets/CURRENT-TARGET/ is mapped to / , chroot to
can be faked to 
that dir.

Therefor "fakeroot debootstrap --arch arm sarge
/targets/foo 
http://ftp.at.debian.org/" where foo is the name of your current sbox target.

should just work.
