[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#710073: sbuild: add copy-on-write support

[Paul Wise]

Control: retitle -1 sbuild: add cowbuilder support

I wasn't aware sbuild had copy-on-write support since the default seems
to be non-cow chroots. The existing cow support methods aren't useful to
me though, I don't have a new enough kernel for overlayfs yet, don't use
btrfs and don't want to use lvm snapshots.

I've been using cowbuilder for years and never had a problem with it. In
practice the LD_PRELOAD thing appears to work fine. A ptrace based
cowdancer sounds good, I wonder where the best place for the code is
though, maybe in schroot itself or just in cowdancer? Probably this
should be discussed with the maintainer.
