These apt settings keep my systems clean and I guess they would also help build chroots: Apt::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant "false"; Apt::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant "false"; Apt::Install-Recommends "false"; Apt::Install-Suggests "false"; Sometimes I even do: # aptitude purge '~i ~M !~E !~R~i !~Rpredepends:~i' to remove old kernels, gcc-*-base, etc.
