Hi,

build packages with sbuild in an aufs-like union-type schroot can be
sped up considerably by putting the overlay directory on a tmpfs
partition, as described on
http://juliank.wordpress.com/2010/12/10/sbuild-on-a-tmpfs/
which modifies /etc/fstab

It would be nicer if this feature could be enabled without touching
fstab, by a simple configuration option in schroot.conf. This could
additionally have the advantage that if schroot mounts the overy for
each instance, instead of deleting the overlay afterwards, it can just
unmount the tmpfs to get rid of it.

Greetings,
Joachim
