Upstream (Karel Zak) says that this is pretty much wontfix for util-
linux, and man mount says that it doesn't try to parse mount options.
What pm-utils could do here is to remember the old mount options and use
this form instead, i. e. with explicitly specifying the directory:
The remount functionality follows the standard way how the mount
command works with options from fstab. It means the mount command
doesn't read fstab (or mtab) only when a device and dir are fully
specified.
mount -o remount,rw /dev/foo /dir
After this call all old mount options are replaced and arbitrary stuff
from fstab is ignored, except the loop= option which is internally
generated and maintained by the mount command.
(from man mount).
** Package changed: util-linux (Ubuntu) => pm-utils (Ubuntu)
