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

I can tell you that it's not rocket science to get /proc mounted in your target
chroot while installing packages and then, y'know, unmount it when
you're done.
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.
pbuilder mounts proc.  Seriously, there is no reason not to mount /proc 
in any and all chroots.
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.
The apache teams prefer not to have wontfix wishlist bugs around, as 
they're useless and clutter up the bug listing page which is big enough 
as is.
