I mean: you normally want to have a /etc/passwd in the chroot for
user/group printing to work. So you could specify a chroot-relative home

If the chroot is /u and the home directory is /u/eve, drop the prefix
after chrooting and use /eve as home directory. That's what many daemons
do for configuration files.
