And moreover, as I checked recently, at least in Debian even root cannot
mount bindfs entities from /etc/fstab if fuse is not installed (I guess,
because of missing /sbin/mount.fuse, I failed to find any more detailed
logs than the standard error message from mount(8)).

Still without the the 'fuse' package installed root can mount and umount
bindfs from the command line, so we can try to downgrade fuse to Recommends on
Linux. But probably there is not much point to do that.

Then, to kFreeBSD...

Martin said the answer is "no", then, Robert, I understand your answer
is apart from fusermount binary fuse4bsd provides the same
functionality as fuse on Linux? Is so, fuse4bsd [kfreebsd-any] go to the
same Depends line, i.e. the original choice #1.

For actual pre-testing, I don't have Debian/kFreeBSD installs and Debian
kfreebsd porterboxes don't have libfuse-dev to compile bindfs so it
requires some additional requests/time. Robert, if you happen to have
the possibility and willingness to run bindfs's test suite somewhere
soon, great, otherwise I'll modify the package and try it myself
afterwards.
