I haven't submitted a bug yet but I always have problems with sysvinit
postinst depending upon ischroot and ischroot getting it wrong and
that leaving a broken /run - /var/run behind. You might hit that too.
You should set up a usr/sbin/policy-rc.d script in your chroot.
Something like this:
#!/bin/sh
exit 101
That will prevent installations from starting daemons in the chroot.
Or if there is a daemon that you wish to start in the chroot then you
could use a script such as this:
#!/bin/sh
# /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d [options] <initscript ID> <actions>
# [<runlevel>]
# /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d [options] --list <initscript ID> [<runlevel>
# ...]
# See /usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README.policy-rc.d for documentation.
# Live example found in ps:
# /bin/sh /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d x11-common stop unknown
while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
case $1 in
--list) exit 101 ;;
--quiet) shift ;;
-*) shift ;;
cron) exit 0 ;;
nullmailer) exit 0 ;;
*) exit 101 ;;
esac
done
exit 101
See /usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README.policy-rc.d.gz for documentation.

Seems reasonable so far. Some packages will require /proc. Some will
also require /dev. Some will require other things.

The premise of debootstrap is that it installs a very small system.
If you want something installed you are going to need to install it
yourself.
Perhaps you should consider using 'tasksel' to install a standard task
set of packages. That would pull in a lot. I prefer the small system
and only install what I need to install. But if you don't like that
then you may always install a larger set all at once.

Yes.

Wait! Hold it right there. What do you mean "when the chroot is
started"? Unless you are doing something "magical" there isn't
anything that "starts a chroot". I think right here there is a huge
misunderstanding of chroots. If you want a particular daemon to start
in the chroot then you will need to ensure that it is started.

Yes.

Yes. By creating an init script.

No. That has a misunderstanding about this part:
start)
echo "Starting chroot sid"
schroot -c sid
But that would simply start an interactive shell there. That isn't
what you want at all.

Yes. Please copy the skeleton and use it.

No. That isn't what you want.

I would use the same header as in the original script.
For example I run 'nullmailer' in the chroot. Therefore I create an
initscript like this following. And I install it using update-rc.d.
Copy it to /etc/init.d/chroot-nullmailer and then install it with:
update-rc.d chroot-nullmailer defaults
In a chroot I usually run nullmailer and cron plus whatever else I
wanted the chroot for, such as apache.
Also there are a zillion other ways to do it too. This is just one
way.
