doing manual chroot builds of packages is a nice joke. It requires a lot of skills, and is error-prone. 
proot was designed to help simplify that process. As usual, going from a personal idiosyncratic framework to a production ready tool was an interesting experience. It is a balancing act between being as simple as possible (and damn-fool proof) and still rich enough to cater for most situations.
