Dear maintainer,

Recent version of util-linux include a new feature to canonicalize paths
related to mounting.  Unfortunately, this mangles non-path descriptions
used by some filesystems (in this case, zfs), because the string being
passed to libmount happens to correspond to an actual path, causing
libmount to add a / character at the beginning---see [1] and discussions
referenced in [2].

Upstream has addressed this (at least for zfs) in [2], which is not yet
included in the Debian version.

Would it be possible to cherry-pick that commit?

Thanks,
Antonio Russo
