Just for testing, I tried debootstrapping an i386 12.10 Ubuntu under
10-CURRENT amd64 with compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.24.

The beta steam.deb installs fine. After that, launching steam updates
the client and installs it under /compat/linux/home/$USER. But I had
no luck trying to launch it :
% du -sh /compat/linux/home/zozo/Steam/
338M    /compat/linux/home/zozo/Steam/
[zozo at zozo]~% /compat/linux/bin/bash /compat/linux/home/zozo/Steam/steam.sh
/compat/linux/home/zozo/Steam/steam.sh: line 46: pidof: command not found
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1352224866)

Then nothing happens.
