Ouch. How about if USENETWORK=no then CHROOT/etc/resolv.conf is
created with values sane for that? Can you do the NMU?

Good question. Maybe it should *also* generate a sane
nsswitch.conf because the one from the host system is
not normally applicable (but idk if it copies that as
well). But IMHO it definitely should not blindly copy
resolv.conf.
