Hi Petter!
Sorry for taking so long to react to this bug.

I'm not sure about starting it in runlevel S. The reason I put it there
in the first place was for consistency with mounting of proc and sys
etc, but I'm not sure it is actually needed suring startup or in
runlevel 1. I could imagine a scenario where one would like to check
i/o behaviour during boot, but in that case debugfs should probably be
mounted in the initrd anyway.

Afaik, blktrace is the onlt utiliy that depends on debugfs. That is
actually the reason that mounting of debugfs was not included in
mountkernfs. If the situation changes and packages start to depend on
it, it should probabyl still be moved there.

Thanks a lot for the patch! I'll apply it on the next upload (hopefully
rsn).
Best regards,
Bas.
