I just did the following steps:

$ sudo sbuild-createchroot unstable /srv/chroot/unstable-amd64 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian

then added "union-type=overlay" to /etc/schroot/chroot.d/squeeze-amd64-sbuild-XXXX

And then tried to build a package. This went through without any errors.

So are you sure that there is still a chown call missing?

Thanks!

cheers, josch
