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.
