Thanks.

I also have a schroot patch you might be interested in due to
hurd-and-only-hurd (GNU) case. Patch is at
http://darnassus.sceen.net/~gg0/02schroot.diff
More info in following threads:

I should probably file a schroot bug.

IIRC superfluous-dots-and-slashes issue has been fixed on hurd side,
so first and last hunks are useless at the moment.
