It saves me a reboot, and speeds up the install. I can complete the
install before reboot from the hard drive, and I can check that all
services work as they should when the machine boots from the hard
drive. When I run base-installer after boot from HD, I must install
the software and then reboot again to make sure all services will
start as they should after reboot.
But of course, I can keep the package out of Debian CVS. It works
fairly well, but some server packages do not restart their daemons
using start-stop-daemon, so I am unable to keep them from starting
their servers inside the chroot environment. I believe the proper
solution is to fix the packages (netatalk, courier-imap,
courier-authdaemon and possibly apache).
