Installing packages to a foreign system
I'm trying to debootstrap a system and when I chroot into it to install
more packages, many fail because their configure scripts assume they are
being called from a running system and try to interact with it and
modify the running state, instead of just the filesystem. For example,
daemon packages try to start the daemon in the configure script, which
you can't do running inside a chroot. So my question is, what is the
proper way to install packages into a foreign system's filesystem such
that they do not attempt to modify the running host system?
