maybe later, that will require more testing/work/time and the umount
and deps bugs are more important to fix asap.  

I am going to mail a NMU patch to aph momentarily to fix 112842 and
114056

about the proc mounting problem, its not clear at all why this is
happening, i cannot reproduce it on powerpc at least, and bug #112778
does NOT explain it (if you look close you see he is trying to install
potato, and his patch only touches scripts/potato).

has anyone looked at tty4 to see what real errors are being printed by
chroot, mount or whatever when this failure occurs?
