Further investigation (looking at current git), shows pbuilder only
uses /lib/init/rw in a hook script and also in the testsuite logs.

Given that this does not actively use /lib/init/rw on the host
system, I think this is not a blocker for the /run transition.
However, given that the hook script in question was only required
to fix a problem in initscripts prior to the release of oldstable,
the issue should be long fixed, and it should be possible to remove
the umounting of /lib/init/rw from the hook script, and also from
the testsuite once it's gone.
