mk-sbuild error: Package libeatmydata1 is not installed

Question

I am trying to compile a few 32 bit debs on my 64 bit Lubuntu (21.10 - Impish Indri). The target is Focal though and I have been trying to build the chroot with mk-sbuild.

The command I ran is mk-sbuild focal --arch=i386 --debootstrap-include=eatmydata

But, even after specifically mentioning eat my data, it still stops at:

I: Configuring build-essential...
I: Configuring libc-bin...
W: Failure while configuring base packages.  This will be re-attempted up to five times.
W: See /var/lib/schroot/chroots/focal-i386/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details (possibly the package eatmydata is at fault)

And, upon checking the log, these are the lines where the problem starts:

After trying both pbuilder and debuild I thought sbuild might be the only viable option to build 32 bit debs on a bit OS. But, it's not easy too.

By the way, the 64 bit build goes fine and doesn't ask for eatmydata at all.

Thank you in advance.
