it would. If anybody knows a good argument for a default location for schroot
containers then I can add such a default. I am not aware of such a standard
path for system-wide schroot directories or tarballs.

Anybody with a good argument for such a default location can feel free to open
a wishlist bug against sbuild and then we can discuss this there. Probably good
to do this together with the schroot maintainer (Roger Leigh in CC).

Thanks!

cheers, josch
