OK I've done some more experimenting and two things are apparent:

  debootstrap is widely packaged for various distros

And

  The script it fairly portable so we can always run it directly

I hacked up the .pre script to do the following and tested on my Arch
VM:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Simple wrapper for debootstrap, run in the docker build context
#
FAKEROOT=`which fakeroot 2> /dev/null`
DEBOOTSTRAP=`which debootstrap 2> /dev/null`
DEBOOTSTRAP_SOURCE=https://anonscm.debian.org/git/d-i/debootstrap.git

if [ -z $FAKEROOT ]; then
    echo "Please install fakeroot to enable bootstraping"
    exit 1
fi

if [ -z $DEBOOTSTRAP ]; then
    echo "No debootstrap installed, attempting to install from SCM"
    git clone ${DEBOOTSTRAP_SOURCE} ./debootstrap.git
    export DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR=./debootstrap.git
    DEBOOTSTRAP=./debootstrap.git/debootstrap
fi

echo "Building a rootfs using ${FAKEROOT} and ${DEBOOTSTRAP}"

${FAKEROOT} /bin/sh -x ${DEBOOTSTRAP} --variant=buildd --foreign 
--arch=$DEB_ARCH $DEB_TYPE . http://httpredir.debian.org/debian
exit 0

So I think it is feasible to but the pre-requisite checking and work
around in the pre script and be done with it. It seems neater than the
chroot within a container approach.

Thoughts?
