The system should perform all write operations when sync is called and
only return when the write queues are empty.
There is no additional benefit for calling sync again as the buffers
should be empty. If data is still being lost, then that is a bug in
either the storage device or driver.
As the (re-)boot process is already so slow, I would like to get rid of
any unnecessary delays.

mount, as updated via util-linux, no longer writes /etc/mtab, causing
programs to rely on this file's content (such as the check_disk Nagios
plugin) to stop working.
/proc/self/mounts contains all the necessary information, so it is fine
to replace /etc/mtab by a symlink to it.

Bumping across one of our scripts with very long trailing whitespaces, I
thought it might be a good idea to clean these up. Doing so, some
missing or inconsistent licence headers were fixed.
There is no need in shipping all these files en bloc, as their
functionality won't change.
