Package: schroot Version: 1.4.24-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
my normal procedure to create a new chroot for use with schroot is to create the file system, mount it, and invoke debootstrap. In this process, I notoriously forget additional packages to be installed into the chroot before it is actually useable. Why not add a --create or --initialize switch to schroot which will just invoke the scripts from setup.d with a new stage "create" or "init"? That way, a local admin could write code to create chroots in the right place so that this functionality is where an schroot user would expect it. If schroot would feel like actually providing functionality behind this options, the issue is a bit more complicated. One would need to support multiple methods to create a new chroot, debootstrap and cdebootstrap being two of them, and create possibilities to pass parameters to these methods, probably via schroot.conf options and/or options pulled from a config script.
