Don't just pick on one sentence I said. I also said copying files across chroot(2) jail does not work. Besides, if it worked and we decided to sync files across chroot(2) jail, we would end-up creating something analogous to python-virtualenv or docker or some such thing. Which would copy 'required' files across to the new root and update them as and when required.
