The adt-virt-schroot manpage says:

       adt-virt-schroot  reads  the  schroot  configuration (root-users/root-
       groups)  to determine whether it can enter the schroot as root user; if
       so, it sets the root-on-testbed capability and you can run tests which
       require  building or running as root. If your user is not allowed to do
       that, you need to run adt-run as root instead.

However, running adt-run as root still does not set the root-on-testbed
capability, which means that trying to run a test that requires this
capability still fails if I run e.g., 'sudo adt-run'.

The attached patch makes adt-virt-schroot consistent with the manpage.
Possible changelog entry:

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * Fix adt-virt-schroot to correctly return root-on-testbed when we're
    running adt-run as root.

Thanks for considering the patch.
