I fully agree.  Thanks for clarifying!

Should be possible only with debootstrap or cdebootstrap.

Might need some juggling with "mount --bind ..." for /dev, /proc and 
/sys - especially if you want the aptitude fullscreen interface to work.

Simplest networking setup might be to install approx and setup the 
chroot to use that: saves setting up name resolving and is benecifial 
anyway for many repeated install and upgrade runs.


What I would do is use my pbuilder wrapper scripts 
localcowbuilder-create and localcowbuilder-login (which essentially 
creates and uses a debootstrap chroot).  If interested, then they are 
here:

  git clone git://source.jones.dk/bin

Ah, that is great news.  More specifically it is here:

I am quite happy to learn that apt-get has matured!
