Package: bindfs
Version: 1.14.7-1
Severity: wishlist

When mounting a filesystem using the standard mount utility (e.g. via
/etc/fstab), it tries to perform the mount by calling out to
"mount.$FSTYPE" when it does not know how to mount the particular
filesystem type already. As it happens, bindfs does not belong to those
types that mount understands. Unfortunately, it also does not provide a
mount.bindfs on /usr/sbin. Therefore mount fails to forward to bindfs.
Would it be reasonable to provide a symlink /usr/sbin/mount.bindfs ->
../bin/bindfs to make this work? Whether you do this or not, please
close this bug after having made a decision.
