       I think it doesn't take much thought to reaslise that would be a no
       no from a security angle. Or if not, then much would be broken.

    I don't understand. What is inherently insecure about a hypothetical
    version of apt-get that would allow for installs in $HOME? After all,
    apt-get would be doing something that I already do "manually".

    P.S. Thanks for the user-mode-linux tip, and thanks to Jason for his
    suggestions too.
