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.


    yes my comment may be wrong, but the intention of the work towards 
right directions, this will extend to install the custom packages
    in persistent sbuildchroot.

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?


   This will address.
