I have uploaded schroot 1.6.4-1 to unstable. This contains some
documentation for wheezy upgrade issues, plus some fixes for
serious and important bugs in wheezy:
schroot (1.6.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream stable release.
* NEWS: Provide guidance for wheezy upgrades with regard to
use of the profile key in a backward-compatible manner also
using setup.config, to mimic the behaviour of the deprecated
script-config key.
* schroot.conf(5) additionally updated to document script-config
deprecation and use of user keys such as setup.config.
* schroot-mount: Canonicalise mountpoints with symlinks to avoid
mounting absolute paths on the host rather than inside the chroot
(Closes: #686148). Note the caveat regarding paths with multiple
symlinks in schroot-script-config(5). This permits safe use of
symlinks as mountpoints in some common circumstances, e.g. on
/var/lock, which is a symlink to /run/lock, though this is not
recommended practice.
* 15binfmt no longer pollutes output, by redirecting stderr from
"which update-binfmts" (Closes: #688304).
* Ensure that CHROOT_ALIAS (setup scripts) and SCHROOT_ALIAS_NAME
(user environment) always refer to the alias used to create the
session (Closes: #689078). The alias is no longer canonicalised
by sbuild::chroot_config::validate_chroots. The logic for
chroot validation and information display in sbuild::chroot_config
and schroot::main_base (and derived classes) required refactoring
to allow the unresolved alias name to be passed through to the
session clone operation in sbuild::session, so that it could be
stored in the chroot's sbuild::chroot_facet_session facet.
* On session recovery, mount the snapshot LV rather than the source
LV for LVM snapshot chroots (Closes: #691376). The code which
sets the mount device for all mountable chroots (with an
sbuild::chroot_facet_mountable facet) is in
sbuild::chroot_facet_session_clonable::clone_session_setup().
All chroot types refactored to set the mount device here.
* 10mount uses a lock directory /var/lock/schroot to contain its
lockfile, rather than directly using /var/lock, which is less
secure.

debdiff attached. Note that because two of the bugfixes required
some refactoring, the patch is large due to changing some method
signatures and moving code around; I also updated the testsuite and
the po translations, which are the bulk of the diff.
