There's two different scenarios

1. I want to protect myself from malicious code (set it to some random
user id).  CLONE_NEWPID might be a better idea in this case.

2. I want to use the same user id inside the chroot too because I
trust the code (e.g. pdebuild). This shouldn't be CLONE_NEWPID,
because pdebuild-internal would require access to /home with the
original PID.



So, using CLONE_NEWPID would have to be an optional thing.
