In /sbin/init, it attempts to determine whether or not the kernel supports
tmpfs by looking in /proc/filesystems:
#!/bin/sh -e
# Set up filesystem as root and pivot into it.
echo "Setting up filesystem, please wait ..."
umount initrd
mount -t proc proc proc
if grep -q tmpfs /proc/filesystems; then
mount -t tmpfs -o size=100M tmpfs mnt
else
mount -t shm shm mnt
fi
This is a valid way to detect support for most filesystems, but since tmpfs
is used internally by the kernel, it is always present in some form, and always
appears in /proc/filesystems. This is true even if its configured off (and
therefore not mountable from userspace).
A better way may be to attempt the mount, and if it fails, try the shm mount.

* Petter Reinholdtsen
- Make sure apt-install umounts all new mount points when it is
done, to avoid install problems when the package 'hotplug' is
installed.
- In debian-installer.d/S50priority, log when the priority is
set or changed.
- Detect tmpfs by testing to mount, instead of looking in
/proc/filesystems. The latter method is not reliable (Closes:
#224656)
