+Ha! So it is :)
+
+So should the plan be to make setup's scripts run via dash-static and
+not use rpm-helper scripts and deal gracefully with non-existing
+binaries etc.?

+Then filesystem can require setup and all will be well in the world
+(other than the general draklive problem where groups are somehow not
+honoured by rpm when installing in the chroot)
