I think you probably need to actually create the chroot under
/home/chroot/test with e.g. debootstrap.
I would suggest adding "type=directory" to the above as well.
Arguably, we should probably document the setup procedure. While
we describe all the configuration options, we don't detail how to
set up the actual chroot--it's assumed it already exists, though
we should probably include examples of how to create them.
