Have a look at SBUILD_CHROOT_PREINSTALL_EXTRA, but maybe not to override
for everyone. Here is an example to create an extended SBUILD_FLAVOR:

meta-isar/recipes-app/hello-isar/hello-isar.bb
meta-isar/recipes-app/libhello/libhello.bb
meta-isar/recipes-devtools/sbuild-chroot/sbuild-chroot-host-db2m.bb
meta-isar/recipes-devtools/sbuild-chroot/sbuild-chroot-target-db2m.bb

Only if there are living replacements in isar-apt. We do not update
base-apt packages.

I suspect there are additional, local changes on your side involved
causing the issues. If you don't think so, please demonstrate the
issue(s) with vanilla Isar.
