ok, no it's not defined that way.
mach is a program to let you build packages in known-consistent build
roots - it is not secure - someone could have an evil package spec file
that can get out of the chroot and destroy you and your system(and your
little dog, too)
mach+djinni - is much more secure - but not mach by itself.
mach was never intended to be so.
