Hi Bastian, Since you filed this bug, we have made the checking for chroots a lot stricter. It now looks for chroot-$distribution in the current directory, and fails if this does not exist, rather than silently building on the host system. The configuration file (/etc/schroot.conf.local) has a $chroot_only option, which defaults to 1 (chroots only).
Additionally, if you use sbuild in conjunction with schroot, no symlinks are used, and it uses the chroots provided by schroot, so you can freely build from any location. I'm not adverse to requiring the symlinks in ~/build, but this would potentially break a lot of existing setups, and with the above improvements, it may no longer be necessary. What you you think?
