Replying to myself after I realised I was being too much of a newbie. 
Just tested the instruction using concatenate:
cat <<EOF >> file_to_fill
And realised that whatever occurs afterwards will be recorded into 
file_to_fill until EOF is entered. Fascinating.

Ok, then I'll use chroot going forwards.

Ah, the joys of stable/unstable repos. One of the reasons Debian is one 
of the last distros I started using was because I found it more 
difficult to setup software I needed as a general user.

Apt just seems to be far less intuitive than some of the other package 
managers (although it's probably due to my inexperience).
However you can't argue with sheer number of packages and support/mirror 
availability of Debian.

Makes sense. Environment consistency will lead to more sanity (hopefully).


I'll get "mk-deb-chroot" running first, then look into coriolis2.

Does "mk-deb-chroot" still needed the "/tmp/brokenproxy" section? Will 
apt always have issues with https?
