I'm wondering if this is the good way to go. cowdancer seems to be a
quite simple hack using LD_PRELOAD. This probably works well for
building debian packages (which usually doesn't involve too dirty
tricks), but I'm not sure if it will work the same for piuparts tests.
If you add support for it, it would be interesting to test it with some
setuid daemons.
Maybe a better solution could be to integrate piuparts with schroot?
This would allow to use LVM snapshots for free.
Or maybe do both? If you build some sort of "chroot abstraction layer"
in piuparts, it should be quite easy to add support for both.
