I use between 4 and 12 GB for buildd chroot and between 2 and 4 GB for the 
snapshots. 
The process is that you have a chroot origin and then the buildd (or more 
likely: schroot) creates a LVM snapshot, mount proc, dev, sysfs and such within 
the snapshot and starts the build in that snapshot. 

Theoretically you could spawn other chroots from that single origin.

As Thorsten already stated: I think you'll need to use multistrap or so.

AFAIK the kernel uses the memory with highest priority. The memory on accel 
cards have a higher priority (40) than the onboard fastmem (20) or the chip mem 
(0). I remember a kernel config option to use only a single memory chunk. 
As always: I can mostly speak about how Amigas handle the stuff, not what Linux 
will make of this.
