Avoid needless copying of any files. Consolidate the sudo calls into one
at this chance.

We have no need for an initramfs while building packages. Therefore,
keep the update-initramfs stub inside the sbuild-chroots so that they
are working also while build dependencies are installed.

As the chroot implies emulation in case of cross-installation, any call
into it that can be avoided saves a few seconds.

"apt-get autopurge" was already available in buster. Using it saves one
startup of apt with database processing etc., which is slow in case of
cross-installation.
