Package: live-build Version: 4.0~alpha36-1 Severity: minor At the time that *.hook.chroot run, /etc/mtab is a regular file. Since wheezy, Debian has preferred it to be a symlink to /proc/mounts (it became important to do that with kernels >= 2.6.26). I'm not sure which stage of installation is normally responsible for this, but live-build doesn't do it. I'm currently using this code in a hook at 0500*.hook.chroot: rm -f /etc/mtab ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab wheezy's sysvinit and systemd both fix this up during boot, and it looks as though extlinux(8) prefers /proc/mounts anyway, but it's probably useful to have the correct mtab for ad-hoc mount + chroot stuff - in particular, I'm not sure whether other bootloaders like grub do the same as extlinux, or whether they trust /etc/mtab.
