You misunderstood.
debootstrap, multistrap, mmdebstrap and any future cousins require a 
repository of deb files.

apt and cousins can install from an unsigned repository by EXPLICITLY 
identifying it as "trusted". {see man page for sources.list}

By inference I only need the proper syntax to do same with mmdebstrap.

Further re-reading of man pages suggests that my command should begin:
> mmdebstrap --variant=required --aptopt="APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated true" ...

I hesitate to try that on this machine.
