Sorry, I don't really understand the problem.
Do you mean that /proc/version_signature is not readable from the chroot?
Or do you mean that the /proc in the chroot is the host one and it
doesn't match the OS installed in the chroot?

Please precise which case you try to solve and which tests you did
with which Ubuntu versions?
