[Michael Biebl]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-22
Severity: normal
File: /etc/init.d/mtab.sh

Hi,

with /etc/mtab being a symlink to /proc/mounts, /etc/init.d/mtab.sh and
the symlink in /etc/rcS.d are kinda obsolete and should be removed.

Afaics they do nothing but trying to update /etc/mtab entries.
