I've greatly benefited from this howto; it's good to see it keeps being 
maintained. Shouldn't the section about the 32-bit chroot mention 
schroot also, though? (chroot seems to be deprecated on unstable).

Here's my version of the "do_dchroot" script (it seems to not work as 
well as the current one):

#!/bin/sh
ARGS=""
for i in "$@" ; do
    ARGS="$ARGS '$i'"
done

exec schroot -p -c ia32 -q "`basename $0`" "$ARGS"


The above assumes a [ia32] entry in /etc/schroot/schroot.conf like so:

[ia32]
description=Debian sid (ia32)
location=/chroot/ia32
priority=3
groups=<put-user-group-here>,root
root-groups=root
aliases=default
