In principle this is the right solution.  However, think you should
hold off making any more changes until you have discussed the matter
with Miquel.  I gather that mountkernfs is going to be replaced by
a script in the initscripts package which will run at S02.  The
initscripts package will have to take care of upgrading from all
the different ways that libc6 has installed devpts.sh and
mountkernfs and it will be easier to do that if libc6 isn't trying
to move things around at the same time.  I have already discussed
this briefly with Miquel.  I hope that S02mountkernfs will be
implemented soon because we should have some weeks before Sarge's
release to work out bugs.
