Which is done for you by the dependency system on Ubuntu and Debian using 
multiarch.
https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO

And Ubuntu Saucy now has lots of arm64 packages you can use: 
http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/saucy/main/binary-arm64/

So you should be able to debootstrap an arm64 image and add armhf binaries to 
it, or vice versa.

I've not actually tried that so I don't know how well it works. There may still 
be important bits missing.
