Thanks. This status file reports that Seccomp: 0. But your kernel
doesn't really have seccomp, so that is weird.

Well, to work around this problem we (temporarily) disabled all
seccomp security filters. With 231-5 we replaced that in favor of
runtime detection of seccomp availability. Clearly the runtime
detection is insufficient, but we really need to fix the detection:
disabling security features is a bug too!


I'm trying to install a vm using the debian kernel. This should make
it easier to test stuff.
