Sure. Presumably the ones in the build1 log come from /etc/fstab,
possibly accidentally. But never mind that.

Your build succeeds because there are two other regular file systems:

# /home/mattia/pbuilder/cache/ccache - 1 - 0 - /dev/mapper/home - rw,relatime,data=ordered - ext4 - 1 - 1 - ext4
# /home/mattia/pbuilder/repository - 1 - 0 - /dev/mapper/home - rw,relatime,data=ordered - ext4 - 1 - 1 - ext4

but that's not something builds can rely on.

So I suppose we can't really require build environments to provide at
least one "regular" filesystem, given that pbuilder doesn't by default.

I'll patch the test suite accordingly.
