This package would need a patched Linux kernel (see aufs5-base.patch,
aufs5-mmap.patch and aufs5-standalone.patch)--that's using a definition
of "standalone" I wasn't previously aware of.  So I will not try to
develop this package further for the time being.

Hehe, not that standalone indeed. Maybe we can close this ticket then?
