Bug#778612: live-boot: please remove obsolete unionmount support



Source: live-boot
Severity: minor

Hello,

unionmount is obsolete and requires specially patched kernel and mount
binary. It is superseded by overlayfs which is in turn superseded by
overlay.

I think there is no point keeping support for this union type and traces
of it in the live scripts can only confuse users.

Thanks

Michal
