I've attached here a patch to add a .service file, it calls the 
initscript, this is a quick solution but it should work.

I didn't add any dependency against LVM because the VG should already 
for all services that have DefaultDependencies=yes (the default) defined.

I also see that the LSB initscript has a dependency against the network, 
any idea why this is needed? Was this necessary to guarantee the network 
shares? Or was it for something else?

Maybe a RequiresMountsFor=/var/lib/schroot could also be added?

On my laptop, schroot is the last LSB initscript without equivalent that 
requires the $network facility, in some situation, this makes the boot 
stall for around 20s (as it waits for the network to come online). Could 
it still be an option to add that for stretch?
