Oh, I forgot... If you do so, please remind that bind-mounts inherit
mount-options from their original mounts. You cannot apply different
mount-options for them.
This should be no problem currently, since you just mounted /lib/init/rw
nosuid only. Btw... I assume you could safely add nodev to it, btw.
However, if you consider to share it with /tmp you definitely need to
avoid noexec due to dpkg-preconfigure :)
