We already have a persistent sbuild flavor, but we may lack some
extension to make it usable not only from a package recipe but also an
image recipe. Please work towards that direction.

I don't get the semantic of this variable. We so far have
SBUILD_CHROOT_PREINSTALL, why don't you introduce SBUILD_CHROOT_INSTALL
(SBUILD_CHROOT_PREINSTALL + DEPENDS), analogously to IMAGE_[PRE]INSTALL?
