Though not finalized, the base-apt source gathering which I proposed to do 
via rootfs postprocess.
That is the only one right now. But I believe more similar might come. We 
already
have some post-process in our QA layer to pull out the dpkg status file for 
processing.
But that doesn't need chroot.

Yes. Also to note, there was this proposal from Baurzhan[1] to remove 
finalize from rootfs features.
We could do something similar if no one actually uses that feature 
explicitly. But, though not tested,
I believe that might break buildchroot, and we might need to take care of 
it in buildchroot's post-process.
If everyone agrees then we could take that path. That should be cleaner and 
should avoid these kinds of
easy to make errs.
