It's definitely the cause of the problem. What isn't clear is if
upstream supports /etc/mtab as its own file when mount is linked against
libmount.

I, personally, have no arguments against modifying the initscripts to
enforce the symlink and coordinate it with a util-linux rebuild, but I'm
not sure others agree.
