ldd is not suited for this purpose for security reasons, since /sbin/init 
is a user/attacker-controlled binary in this case and we are only in a 
chroot while doing the setup, not really containerized. given a crafted 
container template/backup archive/.. this could execute arbitrary code.

it's manpage suggests using

 objdump -p /path/to/binary

and looking at the lines with "NEEDED", which seems to me should be fine 
for what we want to achieve here :)
