 Disappointing, it would have been nice to find the real problem using
nothing but my deductive reasoning and all the information available to
Google (let's not quibble about the relative weights of these components).

 Still, I just can't believe there is no way to get the user name from the
user ID, does "ls -l" show you user IDs instead of names too? Also, I've
realized that I didn't know if "id -nu" didn't work only inside chroot or
inside the main system too? If it's just the former, maybe the problem will
get resolved by switching to the new schroot kind, but if it also fails in
the latter, I'd really consider using strace/ltrace/whatever means
necessary to debug and hopefully fix it.
