Bug#392799: Having the need to have "/proc" mounted in postinst halts installations in chroots, hence in debian-live.

In fact we did an hack for having /proc mounted in debian-live, but the bug 
regards also installing apache in chroots without /proc mounted, and I cannot 
see why having /proc mounted should be a requirements, others package 
maintainers have patched issues like this to have their packages building in 
automated building tools like pbuilder or similar, I think this could be an 
easy to add feature.

Thanks for the suggestion, we planned our hack in a similar manner to avoid 
unmountable proc.

But I think this bug instead of closed should be put on whislist at least, 
since it is not resolved but just put in a "I do not agree on that" form.
