True, this is why tools like schroot copy it on each entry (actually, UI think schroot uses a bind mount, but anyway...) > deboostrap could arrange for the package to be installed in the chroot, > using multiarch. That would be neat I suppose. Totally out of scope for this bugreport but I wonder how hard it would be to create a chroot which used the host versions of things like bash etc but the target versions of things like gcc. I expect any effort expended on that would be better spent on getting the proper cross environment stuff working...
