I've read somewhere that udev is able to work from within a chroot, which is why you need to bind or rbind mount it as suggested above. >Is there some way of duplicate-mounting it from outside so > it's visible inside?

Since you're doing this regularly, take a look at schroot which helps manage chroots including mounting and unmounting /dev, /home/ etc. http://delicious.com/tag/schroot -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
