No, it definitely doesn't qualify. First, because the problem is to
solve it within the Debian package system whereas your solution works
around it. Second because if you're willing to solve it outside the
package system, then there are simpler solutions that use up a lot less
disk space ;-)
Among the solutions that use up less disk space:
- don't install the .debs but just compile manually and "make install".
- patch the .debs so they all get a different name.

chroot can be handy, indeed, but it comes with its own set of problems.
