Hi!

As a follow-up to #637870, schroot being able to provide PID isolation
would be great. This would allow daemons to be destroyed when the
schroot is destroyed. Otherwise, they keep running.

Recent kernels allow one to do that using namespaces. It is possible
to mount a namespace in some special location to keep track of it and
reuse it later without having to keep a process for that.
