Unless things have changed since I last looked at piuparts in detail,
which they of course may well have done, it is wrong for any processes
to exist in the chroot, after a package is installed, since piuparts
does its best to prevent daemons from starting up at all. Thus, I would
not classify this as a bug in piuparts.
