A file symlink in /dev/ would be rather strange, and implementing that with a single file in schroot/containers/ssh would be both inefficient and inconvenient (bind mounts or similar are much better there). But for the time being tests can use that indeed. Martin -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org)
