Package: findutils

-xdev isn't supposed to cross mountpoints, but it can if the
subdirectory is on the same device.
To show the problem:
mkdir -p a/b/c/d
cd a
mkdir e
> e/foo
mount -obind e b/c/d
find b -xdev
find prints b/c/d/foo which is across the mountpoint.
On my system, this causes some large directories (/home) to be backed
up multiple times because they're bind-mounted in /var/chroot/xxx/home
