[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#475515: schroot: Patch to allow loop mounts

[Ionut Ciocirlan]

Followup-For: Bug #475515
Package: schroot
Version: 1.2.0-1

*** Please type your report below this line ***
I really wanted to use a loop mount without doing losetup before, so
this simple patch does it.

The downside is it doesn't lock the device, but then again you can loop
mount the same file multiple times anyway, so it's rather irrelevant.

A potential improvement could be grep-ing for something like -o\s.*\bloop\b
in $CHROOT_MOUNT_OPTIONS under 00check if the "device" is a file, but
that's not really necessary either since mount will fail and error nicely
with "not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?)".
