Fwiw, the problem is reproducible. So, d-i does indeed create /etc/mtab
as a real file.

Martin, I guess there is some value in keeping that hard freeze for now,
which should help us identify such faulty software.

I wouldn't release stretch with that behaviour, but having it in
stretch/sid for a while is probably ok.

Apparently our debian-fixup.service covered up such bugs too well, so
this went unnoticed.

Michael
