Not knowing anything about vservers, do they normally run
the standard rcS init scripts? While this patch does change
some mounts to new locations, it's pretty much doing the same
thing as before. If /dev/shm and /lib/init/rw aren't mounted,
it looks like they are not run.
After this failure, does /var/run exist? Is it a directory or
symlink? What's mounted there or what does it point to? Is
that location also valid?
When the postinst ran, did it set up bind mounts, or did it
run the chroot setup only? If vservers never run the rcS scripts,
we need to ensure that the package runs the same postinst codepaths
as for chroots. Is it possible to determine if we are running in
a vserver enviroment in the postinst?

Looks a bit more comprehensive, and you have the choice of
running the native init. We would need to know if rcS will be
run or not when running the postinst. Comments from anyone using
lxc with Debian would be most helpful.
