If you want, you can install the package manager as a package
controlled by the package manager. Since the package manager in the
package user's approach does not have any build dependencies (only
run-time dependencies) it can be the first package to be installed in
chroot. I do that in my installation.

Of course if you have a package manager that has build-time
dependencies, the package manager should be installed later in the
process.
