just an update: Panu fixed this in r200 (thanks again!), so if anyone
uses apt on any of these distros, you should grab this changeset
(although it is probably only triggered by the presence of a newer
rpm, but if you use apt to manage chroots of elder distros on a newer
system, you're a candidate, too).
