A minimal debian install is only 200M or so, which with typical drive
sizes is nothing. It allows trivial updates and such of 32bit packages
since you have a real 32bit environment to handle downloading and
installing the 32bit packages. If and when debian gets biarch support
this problem will go away. Besides most of the stuff you end up with in
the chroot is the libs you are required to have anyhow to run 32bit
programs.
