as ar as I can see, cdebootstrap does only devert start-stop-daemon
during the time of cdebootstrapping; at the end of it, it reverts the
divertion (by removing the cdebootstrap helper package).

if, for some reason, the removal of that helper package by cdebootstrap
itself fails, it's too late to fix it with a hook, because the hook is
run after lh_chroot_dpkg.

which version of cdebootstrap do you use?

either cdebootstrap has a bug and does not revert the divertion itself,
then this is a bug in cdebootstrap which can be easily catch by
lh_bootstrap_cdebootstrap, or we just don't do anything :) i'll check
about that in cdebootstrap.
the divertion of the lh_chroot_dpkg is, seen for itself, ok.
and btw, although i was fond of cdebootstrap in the past, we switched to
default to debootstrap some month ago. it is better maintained and the
official way of creating a chroot (it's used in debian-installer).
