+mountall (1.0.zenvoid.0) karmic; urgency=low

+  * Workarounds for missing /proc/self/mountinfo. It happens when booting an
+    old unsupported kernel version. Sometimes those outdated kernels are
+    required, specially on embedded devices, unfortunatelly.
+  * Avoid pipe2 syscall for compatibility with kernel < 2.6.27.
