    The build dependencies of what will be built will be installed in the
    staging area. The staging area may be a dedicated part of the
    filesystem, used with chroot, or it can be the actual root of the
    filesystem, which is needed when bootstrap building Baserock. The
    caller chooses this by providing the root directory of the staging
    area when the object is created. The directory must already exist.
    
    The staging area can also install build artifacts.
