Hi David,
I've given it a try on wheezy (apt 0.9.7.6).
I suppose, the new apt-get chroots into the new env before
apt-extracttemplates is executed, right?
Setting just RootDir made apt-extracttemplates complain about missing
APT_CONFIG configuration - which is obvious as it was stored in the
parent environment.
(APT_CONFIG points to my temporary configuration file which is stored in
/tmp. It contains the necessary tweaks and is not part of usual
configuration.)
However, it passed. And then chroot was done (probably once again)
before /usr/bin/dpkg. And there is failed with status 100.
Setting RootDir along with Dpkg::Chroot-directory makes no good. It
makes apt-get chroot into RootDir/chroot-directory (like
/tmp/altroot/tmp/altroot).
Needless to say that /usr/bin/apt-listchanges could have not been
started from there and failed with status 100.
With the recent dpkg::chroot-directory changes you probably mean bug#
659387. I saw that but I don't think it applies to this case.
Best regards,
Milan Cermak

We will need to check if this applies to APT/wheezy and/or APT/unstable.
It could be that rev 1561.1.206 solves this:
apt (0.8.12) unstable; urgency=low

* apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.cc, apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:

as apt-extracttemplate is not directly executed from APT.
I was able to workaround this with setting:
Dpkg::Chroot-Directory "/tmp/mychroot";
in the APT_CONFIG file. However, this caused dpkg to be chrooted to
/tmp/mychroot/tmp/mychroot,
which obviously does not exist.
I remember that we had some changes in that area as well, I just can't
seem to find them just yet.
Would be nice if you could test this in wheezy as I never used these options
myself so far so I don't know the "usecase" to properly test it.
