Well, it *can* not work that way since you need a 64bit kernel to
execute 64bit binaries. But if the target architecture does not
match the host architecture you could use debootstrap's '--foreign'
option to run the initial unpack phase of bootstrapping only (which
probably wouldn't help you in this specific situation, I'm just
addressing your "should not work").
