The problem is essentially that we have a "configured" fstab in an
otherwise unconfigured chroot.
One, IMO fairly logical, solution to this could be to not let partman
create /etc/fstab *in* /target, but instead create it somewhere in the
the D-I environment and then let a base-installer.d script copy it over
to /target.
This would also be more in line with how other components do things.
debootstrap handles a missing fstab correctly by creating a dummy file,
which explains why there was no segfault when I ran base-installer after
doing a 'rm -r /target/*'.
