The new symlink on Debian,
  $ ls -og /etc/mtab
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 12 12-23 22:00 /etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts
Has caused
  $ df

output to 1) repeat / twice, 2) give the long name for /.
This should be reproducible for anyone who has used standard grub and thus has
  $ grep -h UUID /boot/grub/grub.cfg /proc/cmdline
matches. More details in
