Interesting.

Perhaps we should still run apt-get outside the chroot, even when
using schroot?  I originally introduced it to make setup simpler, and
to work around some bugs with apt-get (specifically, apt-listchanges
and friends, and it running some things outside the chroot even when
you set all the config parameters to use the chroot).

That looks like an outright bug.  dsc_md5sums should, IMO, return an
empty hashref on failure, but doesn't currently.


I'm moving house in, ooh.. an hour and a half, and this computer is
about to be packed into a box, so I'll have to take a better look
tomorrow or Friday!
