Ah, but when debootstrap is being used to install Debian into a chroot then the meaning of "target" can be mistaken to mean the architecture hosting the chroot - the one which is running debootstrap in this case - rather than the architecture to be used by Debian within the chroot. That is, with a CentOS machine installing Debian to a chroot, the "target" architecture can be misunderstood to be the CentOS architecture, rather than the architecture of what you're throwing onto that target, which is Debian.
