I found yet another bug, in /etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh this time (package initscripts). It tries to mount a tmpfs on /lib/init/rw.
The offending lines at the beginning are: RW_OPT= [ "${RW_SIZE:=$TMPFS_SIZE}" ] && RW_OPT=",size=$RW_SIZE" domount tmpfs "" /lib/init/rw tmpfs -omode=0755,nosuid$RW_OPT touch /lib/init/rw/.ramfs Of course, there are further lines, but as they are not used by default (ie without editing /etc/default/tmpfs), they are not as troublesome.
