Quoting the manpage of aufs:

,----
| If you dislike the difference between the aufs entries in /etc/mtab
| and /proc/mounts, and if you are using mount(8) in util−linux
| package, then try ./mount.aufs script.
`----

So running:

# ln -s /usr/sbin/mount.aufs /sbin/mount.aufs

then produces:

# mount -v -t aufs -o br:/aufs/day0:/aufs/base none /aufs/u
none on /aufs/u type aufs 
(rw,si=e1c098b6,xino=/aufs/day0/.aufs.xino,br:/aufs/day0=rw:/aufs/base=ro)
# mount -v -o remount,prepend:/aufs/day1,mod:/aufs/day0=ro,del:/aufs/day0 
/aufs/u
none on /aufs/u type aufs 
(rw,si=e1c098b6,xino=/aufs/day0/.aufs.xino,br:/aufs/day1=rw:/aufs/base=ro)

I've sent a bugreport to the Debian BTS asking why aufs-tools
installs the mount script in /usr/sbin - see #501184
