I've been thinking about this some more and although it should be straightforward to make it possible to run lmc to generate an image file inside a chroot without udisks it'd be very tricky to do so reliably for SD cards. That's because if you happen to have an eager automounter that automounts stuff when you change the partition table (like some people have reported) lmc won't be able to unmount that in order to run mkfs. For that reason, I think we should make sure it is possible to run lmc to generate an image file inside a chroot but I think we need a really compelling use case to try and make sure it can burn SD cards inside chroots as well.
