Package: busybox
Version: 1.30.1

We've received a bug in Debian about busybox's mount command not
supporting the 'auto' option in fstab. This option really is a no-op as
it is default behaviour that can be disabled with noauto, but it turns
out that some users add this to their fstab. With util-linux's mount
this works fine, but busybox mount croaks.

If a user has a separate /usr filesystem, this is mounted in the
initramfs after the root filesystem. When a user has a separate /usr
with the auto mount option set, the filesystem fails to mount and the
user gets dumped into the initramfs shell.

The patch below appears to fix the problem:
