That sounds good to me. It even fixes that annoying thing where you
attempt to mount some junk device and get (indirectly) told that it's
not UFS.

Would this case also obsolete /etc/default/fs (I don't know offhand if
anything else cares about that?). What about /etc/dfs/fstypes (once
again, not sure if anyone uses that)?

Finally, there's the interaction with the auto-lofi-mount stuff I put
back. Does fstyp work on all the filesystems with files (I know fsck
doesn't for pcfs, for example) ?
