Hi Neil, the idea looks intersting, but in the end the consequence is that the administrators have to learn one more tool, that looks very complex, whereas one of the goals of letting the user installing packages in his home directory is to not bother the admins. Also, as giving schroot access means giving opportunity to get root priviledges, it is something that definitely sounds scary even in trusted environments. I am more looking for something that looks simple like zeroinstall.
