Package: schroot
Version: 1.6.13-3+b2
Severity: wishlist

Hi. This isn't a "bug", but a question/feature request.

To speed up package installs in schroots (both with sbuild and without)
I usually add /var/cache/apt/archives to the set of bind-mounts in the
fstab of most profiles. This creates a global package cache, which saves
lots of time and bandwidth.

Is there a strong reason to not do this by default? If not for sbuild,
then maybe we can do this for the other profiles. Or if not even that,
we can add a commented-out line to the fstab files to make it easy for
users to turn that on.

I can give you a patch once we decide what is appropriate.

Thanks!
