* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - If partman/automount is preseeded to true, automatically mount
    partitions with usefully-mountable filesystems on subdirectories of
    /media.
  - Add minimal support for NTFS partitions using ntfs-3g.
  - Mount FAT filesystems at boot (fstab pass 1).
  - Mount FAT (other than EFI System Partitions) and NTFS with
    umask=007,gid=46 (static group plugdev).
  - When formatting over the top of an existing swap partition, preserve
    its UUID to avoid leaving systems that use UUIDs in /etc/fstab without
    swap.
  - mount.d/basic: Close mount's fd 3 so that it doesn't inherit a debconf
    file descriptor, to prevent log-output hanging when ntfs-3g is in use.
  - Special case loopmounted filesystems as it's safer to format the
    underlying file, not the device.
  - Stop checking ext2 filesystems using libparted, since it can't deal
    with those created with recent versions of mke2fs. We were already
    refraining from checking ext3 and ext4 filesystems using libparted for
    the same reason.
  - Allow armel/omap to use FAT for /boot, since the problems with it can
    be worked around while it's difficult to use anything else given uboot
    limitations.
