Unless I'm very mistaken about how dh_installtmpfiles and systemd-tmpfiles
works (possible, I guess), I don't think we need to have this argument in
this bug.  If I am right in assuming that nothing about this proposal will
change how chroots work, arguing with people about why they use chroots is
just going to add heat without any light.
