Yes, this is the right behaviour in etch and sid too. Now I have
understanded that my problem is related to the fact that mountvirtfs
doesn't mount shm and devpts when it is called on boot. I don't know
why, I'm investigating this. However if I manually stop the service
mountvirtfs and start it again shm and devpts are mounted and with the
right permissions.

I'll report any news on this.

Thanks to all have answered, you were all very helpful ;-).
