I'm going to reassign this to initramfs-tools as it uses mount
implementations from either klibc-utils or busybox which are both
incomplete and as a result, fail to mount /usr.

I decided against reassigning this to busybox and klibc-utils.
I think it's preferable, if initramfs-tools simply uses the mount
implementation from the real systemd, i.e. util-linux. This guarantees
that we won't run into such problems again in the future.

The mount utility is tiny, all its library dependencies are already in
the initramfs. Rebuilding the initramfs with mount from u-l increases
the size by 17K.

We would also have to make sure to use mount --move in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/init for /run, /sys and /proc

Ben, what's your take on this?

Regards,
Michael
