It means the commands run are from the host system, and not from
within the chroot.

/usr/bin/mksquashfs is used rather than /path/to/d-l/chroot/usr/bin.

Yes I think it might:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-live-devel/2007-November/002659.html
/usr/bin/lh_binary_chroot:
|if [ "${LH_CHROOT_BUILD}" = "disabled" ]
|then
| exit 0
|fi
|
|[...]
|
|${LH_ROOT_COMMAND} cp -a chroot chroot.tmp
|${LH_ROOT_COMMAND} mv chroot.tmp chroot/chroot
Additionally it means the tools don't have to be installed and later
removed, which saves some (also slow) apt runs.
Daniel, what do you mean by "tainted"? Just that the installed
packages work the same as the ones that would be installed in the
chroot? This doesn't seem like a big restriction or something that
would inhibit or restrict utility by "normal people".
