After discussion with Steve on IRC, it turns out that this is due to using loop-aes-utils. This package does not use libmount, and so breaks due to trying to modify /etc/mtab (which has been a symlink for some time). All wheezy and later systems have /etc/mtab as a symlink, making libmount a requirement. loop-aes-utils must use libmount for wheezy. Given that loop-aes-utils is a fork of util-linux-ng from (it appears) 2009 from the NEWS file, it may be possible to merge in the subsequent util-linux-ng changes. Which would be a good idea anyway.
