Yes, this was due to the Chroot class calling ChrootSetup::basesetup()
when the session is created to do the apt update/upgrade.  basesetup()
depended upon the sbuild user and group existing in the chroot to
chown various bits.

I've updated sbuild-createchroot to explicitly copy the sbuild user and
group into the chroot so that this can't fail.
