I recommend installing sshd in the chrootable tree, and running it on
a high port. Copy the /etc/ssh directory from the true root of the
machine (so the host keys match), and change the Port in sshd_config
to something high. Run /etc/init.d/ssh start in the chrooted tree.

You can then ssh into that host and port, and have what appears to be
a standalone machine with that particular debian version
installed. I'm building Helix GNOME for Debian in this way now.
