In that case, it is in /proc/filesystems, and there is no problem. You
_could_ argue that is autofs3 was compiled into the kernel, it should fail,
but I can't find a good way to detect that.

(Just to clear up; "there seems to have been a lot of changes" refers to your
changes, not the Debian changes, although there are several of those as
well.) I'm afraid this was before I took over the maintainership of the
package; the changelog is the best thing I can point you to.

OK, I'll give it a shot a bit later. :-)
