I tried, but it has been the most painful experience I had as Ubuntu
Touch developer for 2 years.

First time I tried, it stucked on a speed of  21.2KB/s  (eta 6h 5m).

Second time, the script stopped for ~5 minutes on "Create click
chroot"[0] (without any signal of activity). When I pushed CTRL+C it
started to download the image (with a good speed for my network:
~750KB/s)

This is the log:

Anyway, it has been a very bad experience: maybe I was unlucky with
this test, but I never had problems creating chroots: it takes ~25
minutes, while I lost 1 hour and half using this static chroot.
Maybe the idea works well, but it needs an huge improvement.

My 2 cents,
