I see this as essential. A system so small that I can't conveniently
install more software is no good to me. When I need to resolve
dependencies manually because there's only rpm, it's on the other side
of useful.

The daemons' chroots are so minimal, it's only a few files, no point
"installing a system" for. If it's slightly bigger it approaches fast a
system which would run on actual hardware, and that needs to be
maintained, and as importantly kept uptodate. Chroot or not, I don't see
how that can work without zypp.
