/etc/rsyslog.conf:
#
# Include all config files in /etc/rsyslog.d/
#
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf

I guess /etc/rsyslog.d/schroot.conf should just read

$IncludeConfig /var/lib/schroot/rsyslogd-interface.d/*.conf

which then could contain $UUID.conf files, or similar.

Btw, about robustness, rsyslogd doesn't mind if the socket directory
disappears or something. I did some stress-testing when adding a
socket for postfix in /etc/rsyslog.d/postfix.conf, and it wouldn't
break even if postfix was uninstalled. (Not so sure about the conf
directory.)
