 The chroot either has a db that must come from somewhere, it's not part
 of a set, so something must have created but not updated it. Or it does
 not have a db and the test cannot fail then.
 
 So there is no differerence to a non-chroot installation. An old db existed
 and only the source file was updated.
 
 Making postinstall run the update commands is probably a good idea,
 then the db stays correct also without a reboot.
