Reassigning the bug:

$ sudo chroot /srv/chroot/sid ls -l /etc/services
ls: cannot access /etc/services: No such file or directory
$ schroot -c sid -- ls -l /etc/services
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17430 Dec  6 19:17 /etc/services
$ sudo chroot /srv/chroot/sid ls -l /etc/services
ls: cannot access /etc/services: No such file or directory

Worst thing after using -source:
$ sudo chroot /srv/chroot/sid ls -l /etc/services
ls: cannot access /etc/services: No such file or directory
$ schroot -c sid-source -- ls -l /etc/services
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17430 Dec  6 19:19 /etc/services
$ sudo chroot /srv/chroot/sid ls -l /etc/services
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17430 Dec  6 19:19 /etc/services

This behaviour is not acceptable. It causes build failures.
