This is dangerous und not possibel as apt locks
/var/cache/apt/archives/lock. Thus it would be impossibel to run 2
parallel grml-debootstraps or use apt-get in the host system.
Instead a hint to approx would be much better (maybe even automatic
handling).
e.g
apt-get install approx
echo 'debian http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian' >>/etc/approx/approx.conf
Restart approx
