Yeah, I see what you mean.  Right now, the plumber doesn't have an
option not to post a srv file, and I'm not sure -m will work nicely
because libplumb relies on it being mounted there.

It makes sense that $plumbsrv be ejected, and I don't see anyone
or anything using it;  on the other hand, I'm not sure we can only
optionally post a service file without breaking people's setups.
I think being able to specify another name is enough.  The program
doesn't use postmountsrv(2) or other srv(2) shit, so we'd have to
add more code for an option to disable this or refactor or
something, I don't know.

I propose that we just push the patch as is unless someone sees a
better solution.

Thanks!
