Hmm, is there some way to specify that everybody can run schroot in
schroot.conf? Its bit tedious to maintain long "users=" lines (and
it's sometimes equally tedious to maintain a group that everyone belongs to).

Sure. I currently have a wrapper script

$ cat /usr/local/bin/sid
#!/bin/sh
exec schroot -q -p -c sid -- "$@"

so that users can "sid foo" to run foo from unstable. If I could
specify the options in schroot.conf then simple "schroot foo" would
work directly.
