You are attempting to work around a issue: dh-consoledata is broken in debian devkit. Either you can fix console-data build rule, or you can just remove /scratchbox/devkits/debian/deb_list/console-common. In general current system should match sarge, and if it doesn't it's a bug. > environment variables in addition to populating tools.

This is exactly something that scratchbox2 [1] should make possible. Or actually better, you don't need to _avoid_ host tools in order to select your preferred host tools versions. You can just install the version you want. Currently sbox2 can build applications (./configure ; make ; make install) , however nobody has written enough remapping rules to build .deb:s (should be easy) or install target libraries with apt-get (a more tricky problem). I suggest you take a closer look, sbox2 is much smaller and easier to grasp than 1.x series. The only hard part is the remapping engine.
