It should be created in the /root/ directory in the build image.  It's
destroyed before compressing currently (AutOPSY -- is keeping /root
instead of destroying it still in the works?  I think it's a two line
change or so and I didn't see any objections when you mentioned it.)  

If you're chrooting into that directory before the post_install scripts
are run, you should see it there.

Perhaps a --chroot option on kadischi's commandline?  Long term, this is
best done by writing a post_install script for your local settings but
the option to chroot can be good for quick 'n dirty experimentation
until you get it right.
