Package: autofs
Version: 5.1.8-2+deb12u2

automount has code (duplicated in various places in daemon/spawn.c) to pass the 
-n option to mount and umount when /etc/mtab is a symlink to either 
/proc/mounts or /proc/self/mounts . Despite this, I'm still seeing this in the 
logs:

Unable to update the mtab file, /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab will differ

I think the problem is that autofs only checks for absolute symlink targets 
whereas Debian sets up /etc/mtab as a relative symlink (to ../proc/self/mounts 
on all the installations I've checked).
