After much debate and soul-searching it was found that

a) /bin/mount is _REQUIRED_ to be present
b) dracut will only copy /usr/bin/mount

So if /bin is _not_ a symlink to /usr/bin, but the individual
programs are, /bin/mount doesn't find it's way into the initrd.
Nor do several other programs.

How to approach this fundamentally?
I would prefer to have 'inst' checking for symlinks, and copy them
over if required.
Adding them manually seems ineffectual to me.
But I'll do whatever is desired here ...

Cheers,

Hannes
