I think I saw that when I rolled my own images before Steve built them
officially. I was too sure I didn't screw up things. Might be #676302.

The call is probably wrapped through chroot, which explains why it
mentions /var/lib/apt… even if it really worked with files under
/target, hence the EEXIST.
