This adds some additional space considerations to the chroot, with the additional apt Package lists and the extra qemu-user-static binaries for all the architectures qemu-user-static supports to ship a single file. > Not sure if this should be M-A: foreign or M-A: same.

I checked in #multiarch, and vorlon suggested no changes were needed, and then verified for sure. live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
