I ran the following in ./helpers/ of the 2.0~a8 source, rebuild and
installed the resulting .deb. It works for me, so please include it
in the next release.
sed 's/policy-rc.d/initctl/g; s/sysv-rc/upstart/' chroot_sysv-rc >chroot_upstart
sed -i '/chroot_sysv-rc/ {p; s/sysv-rc/upstart/g }' chroot binary*
chmod +x chroot_upstart
PS: I tried to send the literal patch with "git send-email", but
AFAICT it didn't arrive. The above should be clearer anyway.
