mmdebstrap might be useful.

"Downloads, unpacks and installs Debian packages to either directly create a
directory which can be chrooted into, or a tarball of it. In contrast to
debootstrap it uses apt, supports more than one mirror, automatically uses
security and updates mirrors for Debian stable chroots, is 3-6 times faster,
produces smaller output by removing unnecessary cruft, is bit-by-bit
reproducible if $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set, allows unprivileged operation using
Linux user namespaces or fakechroot and can setup foreign architecture
chroots using qemu-user."
