I did: Logged into my normal system (via ssh).

As as you said in an other post, the $HOME there is /root.

Anyway:

> 5. As root, apt-get install libreoffice

I did: 

rene@frodo:~/tmp$ sudo debootstrap wheezy wheezy3 http://192.168.0.2/debian
rene@frodo:~/tmp$ rm -rf ~/.config/libreoffice
rene@frodo:~/tmp$ sudo chroot wheezy3
root@frodo:/# useradd -u 1000 -m rene
root@frodo:/# exit
rene@frodo:~/tmp$ sudo mount /home/rene/ wheezy3/home/rene -obind
rene@frodo:~/tmp$ gksu "chroot wheezy3 apt-get install libreoffice"
[...]
(some packages failed because Java needing /proc)
rene@frodo:~/tmp$ sudo mount -t proc proc wheezy3/proc
rene@frodo:~/tmp$ gksu "chroot wheezy3 dpkg --configure -a"

After the steps above:

rene@frodo:~/tmp$ ls -l1 /home/rene/.config/ | grep libreoffice
rene@frodo:~/tmp$ 

No, it didn't create anything.
