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.
