When building images in a user-namespaced container, v3 capabilities are
stored including the root UID of the creator of the user-namespace.
This UID does not make sense outside the build environment however. If
the image is run in a non-user-namespaced runtime, or if a user-namespaced
runtime uses a different UID, the capabilities requested by the effective
bit will not be honoured by `execve(2)` due to this mismatch.
Instead, we convert v3 capabilities to v2, dropping the root UID on the
fly.

pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Moby project without being specific to its internals.
Utility packages are kept separate from the moby core codebase to keep it as small and concise as possible.
If some utilities grow larger and their APIs stabilize, they may be moved to their own repository under the
Moby organization, to facilitate re-use by other projects. However that is not the priority.
The directory pkg is named after the same directory in the camlistore project. Since Brad is a core
Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad!
Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the codebase, they are a good
place to start for aspiring maintainers and contributors. Get in touch if you want to help maintain them!
