BTW, my alternative patch was intended only to improve the wording,
not to change the import. I hope I succeeded (in improving it) and,
if so, that you'll accept the improvement.
Cheers,

I went ahead and patched the mount program myself.
The patched program will store the mtab file at the
target of /etc/mtab if it is a symlink (unless it's
a symlink into /proc/ in which case it won't write
at all).
Anyone would like to test it: Please contact me.
