I understand your chroot/unionfs attitude. Of course this may work
for a packaging system in its own right. I was concerned about the
"making of" - the package creation. The actual process of getting from
vendor-tar.gz to dfly-tar.gz - with the minimal amount of pain involved.
VFS environments would help a lot in that respect.
