for what it worth, a fstab.d would have been something usable... :)
but if you are providing netifrc like configuration, there is no need
to split configuration between the layout and the fstab, everything
should be at one place if possible.
maybe we can have some intermediate options... to bridge the gap, but
all are in the scope of conf.d, examples:
eval $(openrc-mount-helper-fstab ${NAME} /mnt/auto)
or... builtin
mount_driver_\${NAME}=fstab # will call eval
$(openrc-mount-helper-${openrc-mount-driver-\${NAME}} ${NAME} "$@")
mount_mountpoint=/mnt/auto
but this fstab usage is optional.
