i fixed the /etc/init.d script which does the /etc touching,
sent a patch to the maintainer of initscripts.
lessavalook.... yes: mountvirtfs - it calls a bash function
dir_writable on /etc/ in order to determine whether /etc/mtab
is writeable, which is a bit of a daft way to do it.
the patch version, iirc, attempts to touch /etc/mtab instead
(if it's not a symlink).
afaik, this is the only reason for allowing debian init
scripts to write to /etc and it's not a very good one!
