Thinking twice about it the proper way to do it would be to use 
libnss-extrausers inside the chroot and let schroot copy 
/etc/{passwd,...} from the host to /var/lib/extrausers/ within the 
chroot.
This currently fails in my case since my users have "users" (GID 100) as 
their primary group, but that's a different bug. [1]
