As far as I understand, Alex ignored this chroot issue, because he
triggers the package configuration manually using proot at the end.

Since the multistrap project is dead, it would be ok to have a few
patches on it to make it fit our purpose IMO. But we are more inclined
to move to some other more supported bootstrapping mechanism. Maybe try
to put some of our needed features into upstream project. Time spend
there might be better used than trying to ride a dead horse.

Cheers,
Claudius
