| Ah, all becomes clear:

The other explanation is this changelog entry :

    sysvinit (2.85-10) unstable; urgency=low

      * Provide mountvirtfs. It mounts /proc,/sys, etc at early boot.
        Libc6 does this too with a script called mountkernfs which is called
        later, but that shouldn't matter. Libc6 must remove it later on.
        Perhaps we should remove the symlink - I'm not sure.

I got this just now from sarge.
