Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
Loopfiles inside of vfat cannot be remounted rw. This preventfs people
from booting off loopinstallations in vfat. At the moment there is an
exception in scripts/local to mount ntfs filesystems rw by default since
those too cannot be remounted (bug #186117). It might be necessary to
extend the treatment to all loopinstalation filesystems. Following are
some of my experiments, not sure if there is some other way to be able
to remount the host/loopfile.
