I don't know anything about Debian, but the fact that it's being
mounted by mountvirtfs means that it's not 'automaticly done',
correct? File systems can be mounted even if they aren't in fstab, but
shm isn't done automatically as someone suggested earlier.
Since my Gentoo systems don't have this mountvirtfs script it doesn't
happen on my box.
Or so I think... ;-)

I don't have a devpts entry in fstab, should debian must have one?
(infact I currently have to manually mount devpts to open a subshell,
for example CRTL+O in mc).

On my Debian testing, /dev/pts and /dev/shm are both mounted
by /etc/init.d/mountvirtfs, that is called during the single user part
of the boot sequence. No need for an fstab entry.
I don't know why it isn't so on your system.
