I don't see the benefit for now. The chroot stuff isn't rocket
science and adding additional depends just increases risk of
breaking stuff.

If grml-chroot can be used without any possible problems I'm fine
with providing grml-chroot as separate package and using that for
grml-debootstrap, but for now I don't think it's worth all the
effort.

Gebi, ACK from your side?
