Subject: unshare -m for non-root user

Hi,
I wonder why "unshare -m" doesn't work for an unpriviledged user:

$ unshare -m /bin/bash
unshare: unshare failed: Operation not permitted
$ echo $?
1
$ ls -l `which unshare`
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14640 Mar 30  2015 /usr/bin/unshare

Funny thing: when making the binary setuid then it works.
But I would prefer a working original version in the OS repository.

OS: Debian 8

# dpkg -l | grep -i util-linux
ii  util-linux                                 2.25.2-6 
            amd64        Miscellaneous system utilities

Is this a bug, or is it not supposed to work for non-root users?

Thx
