Note sure. There are some loose tidbits at
https://wiki.debian.org/QemuUserEmulation
My mind has accumulated varous random advice into:
1. Install those two packages.
2. Use the two-stage method for debootstrap; i.e.
1. use --foreign at first, and
2. add /usr/bin/qemu-riskv64-static from main host into target (same path)
# cp /usr/bin/qemu-riskv64-static $TARGET/usr/bin/
3. then simly chroot into target as
# chroot $TARGET /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage
That'd be all (apart from the mounting etc)
