last time when i asked you to add a /proc check, you told me you
wouldn't accept the patch (well, it was looking for /etc/debian_chroot
to not mount proc, so this one here is better, but at the time, there
was no /proc check in it at all).

let's close it then.

you can't unmount /proc when it's in use.

however, since fixing all those packages who depends (unecessaryily,
from a live point of view) on mounted /proc seems to be the greater
problem, than just LART those users who make things which results in
those unkillable processes, i consider to mount /proc by default in a
future revision.

daniel, already waiting for 'live-package forced me to reboot my system
because i couldn't unmount the chroots /proc anymore'-bugreports...
