I have hooks that do similar things (definitely nothing that's worth
adding to the samples) in my config/chroot_local-hooks/. The problem
seems to be that lh_chroot_sources is run again in lh_binary (unless
LH_CHROOT_BUILD is set to something else than 'enabled', which should
never, never ever be attempted). This undoes all cleanup that may have
happened in apt* related directories, as far as I can tell.

Am I getting something fundamentally wrong here?
