 Thanks, I confirm that the chrooted() test works from from a "cowbuilder
 --login" session, so I suppose I was seeing the bug only after you
 fixed it because of the default upgrade order.  I don't think it's
 useful to clutter your postinst to unmount the tmpfs in chrooted
 environments on upgrades from >= 2.86.ds1-27 << 2.86.ds1-28.

 I have no idea about vservers.  I know that certain syscalls behaved
 surprisingly in vservers in the past, such as not being able to bind to
 0.0.0.0 or things like this, but I don't know whether the jail looks
 like a chroot or not.
