Good point.
Incidentally, I believe this is also related to:
#897662 [n|  |  ] [jenkins.debian.org] reproducible: is localhost unresolvable 
in the build chroot?
And to that other bug I can't find right now about ensuring a resolvable
localhost in base chroots (probably in policy?)

Wow, this is clever…
But are we sure there are no side-effects?  i.e. there are no packages
that rely on for example a install-time hardlink to /etc/resolv.conf…
although I'd probably call that a bug.
