dgit-user(7): Suggest sbuild-debian-developer-setup(1)
This will only create the chroot for building packages for the machine's architecture, because sbuild-debian-developer-setup(1) does not have an --architecture option, so sbuild-createchroot(1) will be needed too, hence the 'and'. The nice thing about sbuild-debian-developer-setup(1) is that does fiddly things that a non-expert might forget about, like adding the current user to the sbuild group. So it is still worth recommending even though it does not have an --architecture option. Closes:#895779. Signed-off-by: Sean Whitton <spwhitton@spwhitton.name>

You'll need a chroot for each of the secondary architectures.
This is somewhat tiresome,
even though Debian has excellent tools for managing chroots.
-C<sbuild-createchroot> from the sbuild package is a
-good starting point.
+C<sbuild-debian-developer-setup> from the package of the same name

Otherwise you could deinstall the packages of interest
for those other architectures
