Patch 1 had its own use case though. It paves way for downstream
layers to add their own postprocess functions which rely on a working
chroot. Atleast I had one usecase downstream(deb-src caching). Since
deb-src caching is also moving upstream I dont really see any usecase
for P1. Postprocess commands can be ordered in such a way that caching
happens before finalize. The patch still paves way for the
functionality said above for downstream layers. But now I don't have
any use cases. It is just a good to have feature now.

If I understand correctly, are we also planning for the OSS clearance(
tar containing  source files with patches) code to be upstream?
