I’ve recently worked with debugfs+relayfs in a project,
and I share the opinion of the kernel documentation that
it should not be enabled by default (or rather, it should
not be mounted by default in this case — enabling in the
kernels is probably good).

However, if the other thing mounts it by default, that will
cause unnecessary friction we would do best to avoid.

I’d suggest asking the security team about this and then
adjust either initscripts or the other thingy to match.
