FWIW, I've always seen those entries (or something quite similar)
in /proc/mounts (for a long time), but never in the output of df.

$ cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec 0 0
/dev/sda7 /home ext3 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0

$ df

(I haven't switched to baselayout-2 yet). That said, I have no idea why
the output of df under baselayout-2 differs (although I assume that the
rc-svcdir thing is somehow related to baselayout-2 or openrc).
