There is bzr-hookless-email, which runs as a daemon outside of the
chroot and uses the real path.  If you want to use it, I suggest
branching http://bzr.debian.org/~lolando/bzr/bzr-hookless-email/ rather
than lp:bzr-hookless-email, as my branch contains a rather important
bugfix in recursive mode.  I sent a merge request, but it doesn't
seem to have been committed “upstream”.
