Nice. Thanks for sharing this.

+1 for that.

I hadn't noticed that but my needs didn't include rsync. Nice catch.

This is good. Ultimately, the script should detect the arch and use
the right paths.
I submitted a patch series[1] a while back that addressed some other
issues with mkchroot.sh too. I didn't get any feedback at the time.
I know that future releases aren't likely unless a security is found,
but it would be cool of the rpm/deb maintainers to incorporate these
types of fix ups for the downstream folks! :)
Thanks
