There's a quick and easy way to reproduce if you're tempted! ;-)
Launchpad exposes the chroot tarballs used for Ubuntu buildds via it's
web API.
To setup, I use this schroot.conf snippet:
[natty]
type=file
description=Ubuntu natty
root-users=lool
file=/srv/schroot/chroot-ubuntu-natty-amd64.tar.bz2
location=/chroot-autobuild
preserve-environment=true
/srv/schroot/chroot-ubuntu-natty-amd64.tar.bz2 is the chroot used on
Launchpad buildds for natty/amd64. I'm attaching dl-lp-chroot which
downloads such a chroot; it's a trivial wrapper around
https://launchpad.net/api/devel/ubuntu/$dist/$arch/chroot_url URLs
