Debian even has a package (debootstrap) for installing a functional base
system onto a filesystem subtree (it's actually used by the installer to
initialize a mounted drive that will be serving as root filesystem). It
can't get any more convenient than that! :) (Though granted, a full base
system install is probably total overkill if all you're looking for is a
chroot jail for a single application.)
