With the change to implement /run in squeezy, we can now move mtab off of /etc.

Right now, the system is using /etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts.

I have found a number of tools (not all debian based) that do
fopen("/etc/mtab", "r+") and disregard /etc/mtab if it cannot be
opened as a way of verifying the contents are valid. Consequence is
this is now risking data corruption.

I thought I had a working patch, but it wasn't working yet.
