Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cloud-init

If you do:
  sudo rm /var/lib/cloud/config-mounts*
  sudo start cloud-config-mounts

You'll notice that /etc/fstab something like:
# cloud-config mounts
/dev/sda2       /mnt    auto    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda3       none    swap    sw      0       0
# cloud-config mounts
/dev/sda2       /mnt    auto    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda3       none    swap    sw      0       0

The second comment and entries are written even though they're already present.
It seems reasonable that to not write a new entry if an existing entry is 
present.

The fallout of this, is that if /etc/fstab is as shown above, a 'reboot'
will never end up with 'filesystems' being emitted, and anything that
depends on that will never run (quite a lot).
