Not in my world, but that doesn't mean such things wouldn't exist.
Practically all build systems I'm familiar with do a "system install",
but point the root of that install to some empty space via DESTDIR.
Years ago (IIRC, I believe) someone wanted to get rid of DESTDIR by
using an overlay mount of some sort to capture the transactions on one
system to play it back on another, but that went nowhere I can find.
But that general idea is pretty much alive in the VM and
containerisation space.

I'd be curious to see such a system because I can't even begin to
understand how it would work in reality.
