Yes, debootstrap works on any system. Note that if you wish to bootstrap
devuan systems, use devuan's debootstrap (which was fixed):
https://packages.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/d/debootstrap/

Also, for next steps, I'd recommend you to see how the ARM SDK works,
particularly the devuan profile:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/arm-sdk/blob/master/arm/profiles/common-devuan
