This has been discussed in another bug report a few hours ago, and a fix has been pushed to git; I'm uploading a fixed package in a moment. If you would have an extra minute or two, quoting the contents of your mtab.old would be nice, in case somebody wants/needs to know what bit of d-i touches this file. But that's really a bonus, nothing absolutely necessary. Mraw, KiBi.
