Bug Description
mount no longer updates /etc/mtab in 16.04 when performing a mount. This is a regression against 14.04.
I know that /etc/mtab should be a link to /proc/mounts but we have reasons to not make this link. mount should behave as described in the man-page.

Right, /etc/mtab should have died about a thousand years ago :-) Retitling bug to adjust the manpage accordingly.
