I think it's the symlink the thing that is making revdep-rebuild unhappy. Have you tried to bind mount /mnt/var into /var? mount -o bind /mnt/var /var Perhaps that will appease revdep-rebuild. > Should I also mount directly onto /tmp and /opt? I don't think so, although /tmp is preferred to be a tmpfs now, I believe (in both systemd and OpenRC, if I'm not mistaken).
