If you have the list around, you can create a virgin machine which has
stub libraries initially... those will be replaced by the real libraries
as dependencies are installed, but they will be enough to trip up anything
that tries to install using an incorrect path.

Well, considering that we're not paying the chroot toll, this is slightly
harder, but yes, installing dependencies only in the fake area and tweaking
the -L to refer to them ought to work.
