I absolutely agree that standardizing all the different methods of mounting the cgroups would be a great idea. Ubuntu currently does this with their "cgroup-lite" package (http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/cgroup-lite), which does pretty much exactly what we need. The only problems with it I can see are that it has some weird love/hate relationship with "cgroup-bin" that I can't quite figure out.
I would be very interested in and willing to maintain such a "cgroup mounting" package in Debian if there's interest in it (especially from the maintainers of the other packages needing cgroups mounted such as libvirt and LXC). I think the approach taken by "cgroup-lite" is basically exactly what we need, and I wonder if Serge Hallyn (who appears to be the most active maintainer of the Ubuntu package from http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/c/cgroup-lite/cgroup-lite_1.8/changelog) would be amenable to my basing a new Debian package off the work there. CC'ing Serge so we can hopefully get some added knowledge. :) ♥, - Tianon
