2½ years later, updating a debootstrap merge request reminded me that this
is unresolved. I see schroot now has a new maintainer and a new upstream:
please consider applying the patch proposed here to set up a working
/dev/ptmx and /dev/console in more situations.
I don't currently have a codeberg account set up, so I haven't proposed
this at the new upstream yet. I'll try to do that and mark this bug as
forwarded.
