 Hmm right, this is ugly; the story is as follows:
 * xdeb uses a script called "debuild" which wraps the usual
   "dpkg-buildpackage" providing some nice services (like keeping a
   build log)
 * devscripts depends on tons of stuff, including a MTA
 * the default MTA, Postfix, fails to install in the chroot

 Workarounds:
 * mount /proc as amitk suggested, so that the MTA installs
 * install without recommends, this probably will avoid pulling a MTA
 * pull a small MTA explicitly, or a fake one like lsb-invalid-mta
   (apt-get install lsb-invalid-mta xdeb -- I didn't actually try this
   one)

 Proper fix, not quite sure:
 * perhaps try removing the dep on devscripts by copying debuild in
   xdeb, or by replacing the functionality?
 * only use debuild if available?
 * provide better instructions on installing xdeb in a chroot (Amit did
   it I think!)
