Just tried to upgrade after vacation. It seems that util-linux now conflicts with mount. Several packages depend on mount, including sysvinit, which sends my packages into a cascading frenzy of deinstalls. Sorry if this has been discussed and I missed it.

Wouldn't help, we don't have versioned provides. In any event, replacing an essential package is a dangerous action, and I have made a util-linux NMU that splits mount into its own package again.
