With util-linux-2.21 we have switched to a new implementation of mount, based on the libmount library. We have tested this in the release candidates for some weeks, and it seems good to go. I would like to point out that upstream considers this "experimental" at

However, I intend to keep util-linux in testing longer than normal just in case. Please keep an eye out for oddities, especially if you are using mount in any non-standard ways that we might not have tested. Gerardo will not be happy about this delay (he needs the new losetup). What about pushing 2.21-1 with "old mount" to core quickly and then putting 2.21-2 with "new mount" into testing?
I can wait, no problem for me. Anyway I remember, that Dave says something about "new mount" will be disabled for 2.21, and enabled in 2.21.1. I can remember that this "new mount" causes "-a" works in different way than "classic mount" (but is an expected behaviour), and initscripts should be updated to reflect it.
