Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-20

Hello,

starting with 2.86.ds1-16 mountdevsubfs.sh and mtab.sh name the device
of /dev/shm differently.
While mountdevsubfs.sh mounts "tmpfs /dev/shm ..." mtab.sh creates an
mtab entry "devshm /dev/shm ..." instead.
This leads to a) unnecessary inconsistencies between /proc/mounts and
/etc/mtab and b) duplicate mounts of /dev/shm if it is also listed in
/etc/fstab (which is very okay for other virtual filesystems and which
is explicitely supported by domount from /lib/init/mount-functions.sh).


Thanks for your work & regards
   Mario
