I just created a vivid chroot with `pcreate -a amd64 -d vivid vivid-
amd64` and I verified that inside it /dev/shm is a directory with
permissions "drwxrwxrwt". Thanks Martin!

Title:
  /dev/shm is not writable inside vivid chroot on trusty host

Status in sysvinit package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This problem is visible on a pool of pbuilder nodes. All of the slaves
  are amd64 running trusty. I can observe the issue when using pbuilder
  to mount a vivid chroot. The problem can be recognized by the fact
  that within the chroot, /dev/shm is not a link to /run/shm. See output
  below. This problem is only visible on a set of x86 hosts. I also have
  a set of armhf hosts (with armhf chroots). These armhf boxes do not
  show the problem.

  This is only visible with vivid chroots. Trusty and utopic chroots
  show /dev/shm as a symlink to /run/shm.

  All of the hosts have debootstrap 1.0.59ubuntu0.2. The amd64 nodes are
  running in openstack VMs, the armhf nodes are running on bare metal.

  This appears to be a regression in behavior. The problem is impacting
  unit test cases in packages being built with the chroots. These test
  were working in the past, but the exact timeframe for when the problem
  was first observed is difficult to track down. Possible this has only
  been the case for about 2 months.

  
  [On the amd64 host:]
  $ ls -la /{dev,run}/sh*
