rpm --root equivalent?

[Vincent Danen]

Another question.  Is there a way to point apt to a chroot to do an
install?  For instance, with rpm, you can use --root to point to a
directory or other filesystem to make rpm install stuff in that
directory rather than the "real" root.  urpmi can do the same thing (in
fact, I use urpmi to do the whole system installation as a result).

Can apt be coerced into doing the same thing somehow?  If not, then I
have to keep urpmi (more's the pity) if for nothing else than the
installer (and for building the installer).
