Since I didn't hear anything back from either libselinux or
util-linux maintainers, I assume they're in agreement. I'm hence
proceeding with this plan. I've opened bugs against util-linux
and libselinux for the udebs:

libselinux: https://bugs.debian.org/835503
util-linux: https://bugs.debian.org/835504

And I have committed a workaround for open-iscsi to git
packaging that disables libmount temporarily for the udeb packages,
which I'll upload soon:

(I've tested both variants of the binaries on a regular system.)

Regards,
Christian
