Severity: normal

if i try to install debian using debootstrap --variant=fakechroot as a
non-privileged user (using the fakeroot and fakechroot LD_PRELOAD
hacks), the install fails with:
I: Configuring initscripts...
I: Configuring sysvinit...
I: Configuring e2fsprogs...
W: Failure while configuring required packages.

it appears that this is because initscripts.postinst uses ischroot to
determine whether to try to bind-mount /dev/shm to /run/shm. But
ischroot returns 2 when run under fakechroot by a non-privileged user,
so initscripts thinks it is not running under a chroot.
The attached patch assumes that if we can't tell if we're running
under a chroot, we probably are. This permits a basic fakechroot'ed
debootstrap invocation to complete correctly.
Alternately, if you think ischroot should behave differently under
fakechroot, feel free to reassign this to debianutils.
