I only use it to test new packages and it works for me. e.g. with this simple script I create on the fly an ephemeral copy on write clone of my development machine in a container: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/md/usrmerge.git/plain/development/test This way I can try over and over installing the same package. You can also use an overlayfs as the lowerdir of another one, so with the same script you can prepare a test environment and then repeat only the last step in a second container. -- ciao, Marco
