Having taken a quick look at the dependencies, I would think that you
can install Sid's current version (2.13-8) of util-linux on a Lenny
system. This one includes /usr/bin/chrt. (The problem is that Lenny is
still stuck at Etch's version of util-linux, which assumes that
schedutils is available as a separate package.)
