Bug#821793: fusermount should not attempt to use /etc/mtab

[Ximin Luo]

Control: affects -1 disorderfs
Control: affects -1 devscripts
Control: affects -1 reprotest

debrepro from devscripts, and reprotest, both use disorderfs. When cleaning up a build, they try to unmount the disorderfs filesystem using `fusermount -u` which doesn't work inside an schroot since it doesn't have /etc/mtab.

The workaround is to manually use "sudo umount" but this requires root access. Or symlink /etc/mtab to /proc/self/mounts.
