I'm almost certain that option wasn't used - I know it, and it's
risky so wouldn't be inclined to run the daemon like that, but I can't
categorically rule out that I gave it a quick try.  I have root access
to the server so wouldn't need to use it.

I had previously played around with adding a single directory to the
chroot (--chroot-directory=dir) as a means of getting test XML results
out of builds of my own custom packages, but this was months ago - apart
from that I always use default settings for the daemon.

It is likely to remain a mystery alas....
