Good! Mind you, they are not high quality images. They're just a raw mmdebstrap with little configuration, probably not suitable for production use. I mean them

  That's exactly my use case: I use these images for (1) building packages locally (sbuild has a QEMU bridge via the autopkgtest mode), and (2) for autopkgtest. A minimal debootstrap-like installation with only the bare minimum configuration is ideal for that, it ensures that nothing from my own environment bleeds into the build/test environment. I've run into all sorts of issues on non-amd64 platforms, and debugging on porter boxes is sometimes cumbersome. Most importantly, however, is getting access to one. For Debian contributors, it's easy, but most upstreams aren't Debian contributors. Unless I'm mistaken, I can now at least point them to one of the images you generate, and they should be able to run it with very little effort.
