I think it is /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone, but I don't
know what the contents are exactly. 0 when off, 1 when on? Can
someone on Debian confirm?
If we can get the test suite passing, I'd like to extract these user
namespace presence tests to a procedure that 'guix environment' can
use to give the user an informative error message in these cases.
