Wrong. Debconf databases are not a panacea; in this case and
age old answer in the debaconf database is never to be prefferred to
doing the check yourself whenever your script needs to know the
answer (/proc/mounts is your friend, for instance).
I do not know where this predeliction to wanting a registry
comes from, given that we all have seen what happens when you have an
opaque registry in windows.
