I'm not sure using apt is a good thing for this.  It would mean that
your sources.list would have to be correctly set up and (for
cd/floppy/nfs installs) the media should be mounted inside the chroot,
in the right place.  How do you propose we ensure this?

I think using basepkg-installer (not in CVS yet) is a better choice,
since it reuses debootstrap functionality and is a lot simpler than
using apt.
