Can you please send /var/log/dpkg.log (ideally as bzip2) and tell me
roughly at which date you did this upgrade? Perhaps you can determine
the relevant entries from dpkg.log.

About the binary disappearing: As far I can see, there is only one
condition under which this can happen: If somehow dpkg/apt gets
interrupted by force between running of preinst and unpacking of the
files of loop-aes-utils. This, I think, can not happen under normal
circumstances, but only if dpkg/apt got interrupted by power loss,
system shutdown/crash or kill (e.g. ctrl-c).

Do you remember anything unusual happening during this upgrade?

This shows that /bin/mount reappeared at some point. Did you purge/
reinstall the package or fix this in some manual way? Or did the 
binary reappar after downgrade? 

cheers,
