Dear Gabriele and Samuel,

I just want to check on the state of this patch and add a few notes.

I'm not familiar with the hurd details, so really just wanted to check 
if any changes were required before it was merged.  Note that I've 
opened pull requests here:

   https://github.com/codelibre-net/schroot/pull/7 (master)
   https://github.com/codelibre-net/schroot/pull/6 (1.6 branch)

Please feel free to add any comments there if needed.

Regarding Samuel's commit to the alioth master branch: this is no longer 
the canonical upstream repo for schroot, so committing here is not a 
great idea; it's now basically a mirror of the actual github repo, so 
and commits are liable to be lost.  The above two pull requests are your 
commit split into two and rebased onto the 1.6 branch (which is what's 
currently in Debian unstable).

If you're happy with both of the above pull requests, I'll merge them 
and make a new 1.6 release.


Kind regards,
Roger
