That might be caused by a missing S36udev-mtab link in rcS.d.

The root of the problem seems to be a bug in sysv-rc, which made
update-rc.d remove existing links in rcS.d. Details are in bug #386500.

For me it was enough to run "dpkg-reconfigure udev" to have both
symlinks generated again, as proposed in the discussion of the bug.
Other services might also be affected, if their packages were upgraded
while the bug was present in sysv-rc.
