I fixed my script to automatically setup up such an environment to not
require commands not available on davis, and rolled it out on davis,
so that there is now a PPC retracer as well:

 $ ~pitti/bin/retrace-ppc 12345 > 12345.out

Oh, and pretty please, do *NOT* interrupt the process with ^C. It
takes a while to unpack the packages and purge them again after
retracing. Interrupting it causes packages to remain installed with
owner-only writeability, and thus other people cannot use the chroot
properly any more. If this becomes too much of a hassle, then I'll
switch to tarball chroots and temporarily unpack them for every
retrace. apport-chroot support this already, but it's overhead I'd
like to avoid if possible.

Martin
