It's not the highest priority item--there are some other tasks which
are higher on my list which will need doing first.  However, if time
permits there is no reason why this can't be done for squeeze.

This is probably not too much work, so I would welcome anyone who
sends me any patches to do it!  It's by no means necessary, but it
would make it happen faster!

I think the postinst is the best place to do the chroot creation
(packaging it would be too large).  Batch upgrades are already
supported, and one of the things I want to do is allow this to be
automated (so you can use --all-source-chroot -- apt-get update
rather than several -c options)


Regards,
Roger
