A second thought here: I was looking into the other scripts and I think it
would make sense to just integrate the "devpts" script into "sysfs". The sysfs
description already claims to "Mount initial set of virtual filesystems the
kernel provides and that are required by everything." and devpts fits that
description quite well.
