The problem is that when doing a bootstrap build we seem to use a custom chroot that must not be used by any other build.

There is a race when enablement returns a builders, it comes back automatically in automatic and could get a build dispatched using the custom chroot.

(See https://wiki.canonical.com/InformationInfrastructure/OSA/BootstrappingPackages for the process.)

Maybe what is needed is a way to specify per builder the chroot to use. That way, to do bootstrapping we would need a way to specify a custom chroot for a specific builder and a way to dispatch a build to that builder. The rest of the build farm could continue it's normal activity at that time.
