Hello, if you request with a signed message you can as maintainer get access to porterboxes.
See e.g. https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2019/04/msg00125.html


Also I find useful with qemu-user-static and ubuntu-dev-tools installed to debug with

pbuilder-dist sid armel create
pbuilder-dist sid armel login
and then copy-paste do whatever I want in the qemu-created chroot.
It's slow, but works for most of the tasks I need to solve
