If I try to install binfmt-support in a chroot, then I get
Setting up binfmt-support (1.2.10) ...
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.24.3/modules.dep: No such file or directory
update-binfmts: warning: Couldn't load the binfmt_misc module.
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.24.3/modules.dep: No such file or directory

2.6.24.3 is the kernel of the _host_ system, of course. Not to mention
that the setup script should not run anything, if the appropriate
policy-rc.d script is installed.
