...because if you build chrooted, you can just remove the files, since
the 'temporary' chroot inside the chroot to generate the rootfs is
trashed right after creating the rootfs image anyway.

it controls wheter the host systems tools are used to generate the
rootfs or not.
if you're using the host systems tools, you are possibly tainting the
image if you the host system is not the exact same distribution as the
target system is.
