I am considering this for etch only, and to reinsert it once etch is
released.  I suspect it is better to break uml, dosemu and others
misusing /dev/shm/ early in the etch+1 release cycle instead of late
in the etch cycle.

But I might be too late, as base and sysvinit is already frozen,
according to the email from Andreas. :( We will have to discuss it
with the release managers, I guess.
