Johannes, I see that base-passwd and base-files use chown to set up some
groups etc. That would however not work with non-root chrootless, so
we'd have to use either root chrootless, or non-root fakeroot?

Also, can we tell mmdebstrap to use the normal chroot instead of
fakechroot? chroot() is not a privileged operation in the Hurd.
