I'm not sure about this, unless there's a bug in the Sbuild::ChrootPlain
class (more on that below).

Note that these paths are all inside the chroot:

We could probably prefix them with TARGET to make it more obvious.

This message is erroneous.  It didn't exist.  I'll fix that.

This is a symlink for sbuild to use in sudo mode.

Setting up bits inside the chroot:

Now here we (inside the chroot, I hope) run apt-get update and then
apt-get upgrade.
