Hmm, but what would you do for a service that has both PrivateNetwork
and chroot enabled?

I am all open for shifting things around again, but I inda would
prefer a solution that works universally in the end...

Ideas?

I figure we could open a new mount namespace and mount the file system
socket into the chroot, but not sure I like the idea...
