The base system packages on all openSUSE and SLE11 releases.  Possibly
SLE10 also does it, but I don't have a running instance of that at the
moment.

Sorry for the "distraction", but that goes against documentation on your
machine:
	$ man mount | grep -A 3 "Mount options for debugfs"
	Mount options for debugfs
	       The debugfs file system is a pseudo file system, traditionally  mounted
	       on /sys/kernel/debug.  There are no mount options.

It's not only a documented standard, it's a "tradition" :)

Please fix your documentation.
