Please could you give the packages at

  http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/schroot/

a try?  You will need to rebuild the sources (at the same location) if
you aren't using powerpc.

The changes are all documented in the ChangeLog, and the manual pages
have been updated to document the current semantics.  If you find any
incompatibilities, please could you let me know.  This should restore
the previous behaviour exactly.


Regards,
Roger
