I have a "bug" to report: the base image should have a policy-rc.d which prevents services from being started/stopped inside the chroot (as detailed here: http://people.debian.org/~hmh/invoke...cification.txt )

Otherwise, certain package manager operations inside the chroot (e.g. apt-get remove dbus) will crash the N900 itself, as some service stop scripts will mistakenly kill the N900's own version of that service (and apparently stopping dbus causes the watchdog to reset the system).

Generally there's no reason to let invoke-rc.d actually do anything for a chroot system... services can still be started/stopped manually by running /etc/init.d/foo start|stop if the user wants them.

Thanks for the work!
