The checking in a chroot does not work for experimental as that will
work fine and fail on the buildd. That's why it's so different...

You seem to think the worse while there are quite valid reasons why even
when checking in a chroot all of these failures can be explained.

That's why I don't like you to use such language, you are scaring
contributions away for no good reason at all, on the contrary!

Though I do understand that the failures seem obvious and avoidable. But
you don't seem to take into account changing contexts nor the special
circumstances of the experimental buildds compared to unstable.
