Binary package hint: mountall

I'm using pam_namespaces in my PAM configuration (mainly to have /tmp and /var/tmp mapped into my encrypted $HOME,
so that private temp files do not end up on the not yet encrypted root partition). However, having different namespaces
means that udisks will run in a different namespace than my user, so it will mount removable drives (like DVD) in the
other namespace than mine - resulting in e.g. the file manager being unable to open the newly mounted (but yet unreachable)
directory. To solve this, I created another /media mount point on /tmp and was planning to call mount --make-shared on it,
to make these mounts show through. Googling a little, I found that
none /media tmpfs defaults,noexec,nodev,auto 0 0
none /media none make-shared 0 0
should solve my issue - which mount -a confirms to be correct. However, mountall has two issues: it will ignore all lines
except the last for the same mount point, and it will do nothing with fstype = none, since such a file system is indeed unkown -
it does not understand the special syntax.
