File manifest, you mean md5 those do need to be rerun to include the
Mac/Win files and the updated squashfs. You're right the symlinks and
file removals probably don't need chroot.

The reality is the the full build debug script should never need to be
used again the way it was and the non debug version omits some of these
things. I happen to like the progress because I'm impatient and waiting
but don't care if those get quieter.

I think we can close this ticket.
