start-stop-daemon with chroot ?

Hi,

I'd like to use start-stop-daemon with chroot option, but I get a
strange error. A test:
# start-stop-daemon --start --chroot /bin --exec ls
start-stop-daemon: Unable to start ls: No such file or directory (No
such file or directory)

I should work, shouldn't it?
When I run this:
# start-stop-daemon --start --chroot /bin --exec inexistant_file
The error is different:
start-stop-daemon: stat /bin/inexistant_file: No such file or
directory (No such file or directory)

Why the first command doesn't work?
