Bug#100466: ITP: dchroot -- Easy chroot setup



Package: wnpp

dchroot is designed so that you can specify where your chroots lie, and what
chroots you have, and chroot into that chroot easily, with the current user
and shell. Example:
daniel@piro:~$ cat /etc/debian_version
testing/unstable
daniel@piro:~$ dchroot stable
daniel% source .zshrc
daniel@junpei:~$ cat /etc/debian_version
2.2

It lets you stay as the current user, using the current shell, which makes
things a lot easier. It needs to be installed suid root to work. The
upstream author is Ben Collins, but I'm going to be doing a bit of hacking
for it to become useful.
