From the view point of libc6 maintainer, it's no problem to merge /sys
mount for /etc/init.d/devpts.sh. The name of devpts.sh should be
renamed to something, though. And it can be also applied for /dev/shm
tmpfs.
One remaining concern is: is it ok to create /sys and /dev/shm
directory by glibc package?
