aha! I'm running a mix of testing/unstable and your tip of using the sid
version of schroot did the trick.

I'm now able to verify your bug when I use union-type=overlay in my schroot
config.

The attached patch should now print an appropriate error message, in case you
want to verify that it works.

I plan to clone this bug and have a separate bug to also do a chown call.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
