Thanks for reporting this bug.

I see the message too.  Of course the failure to unmount swap is a good
thing :)  I'll assume the real bug, as perceived, is that the container
thinks it has something to swapoff.  Fixing that will require /proc
contents filtering.

We can use the apparmor policy to deny read access to /proc/swaps, which
replaces the error with

/etc/rc0.d/S35networking: 61: /etc/rc0.d/S35networking: cannot open 
/proc/swaps: Permission denied
 * Deactivating swap...                                                  [ OK ] 

Another possibility of course is for /etc/rc0.d/S35networking to detect
it is in a container and not try to swapoff.

However, as no harm is being done to the container or the host, I"m
going to mark this wishlist for now.
