[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#670881: schroot: main manpage should warn about type=plain not running setup scripts

[Yann Dirson]

Package: schroot
Version: 1.4.25-1+b1
Severity: normal

It takes some time to find out that, when using directory=... with the
(default) "plain" type, the setup scripts are not run: only the
schroot.conf manpage seem to show the info.

Also, the run-setup-scripts seems to be ignored in the case of the
plain type, which is not explicit either.
