I think it's the symlink the thing that is making revdep-rebuild
unhappy. Have you tried to bind mount /mnt/var into /var?
mount -o bind /mnt/var /var
Perhaps that will appease revdep-rebuild.

I don't think so, although /tmp is preferred to be a tmpfs now, I
believe (in both systemd and OpenRC, if I'm not mistaken).
