init jobs could be updated to do

        [ ! -h /etc/mtab ] && sed -i "/^lxcfs \/var\/lib\/lxcfs
fuse.lxcfs/d" /etc/mtab

Title:
  systemd unmounts mounted filesystems when lxcfs is installed

Status in lxcfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This seems to have been triggered by the glib update on ubuntu-desktop
  ppa. No partitions from fstab (apart from root of course) are getting
  mounted at boot. This is just a little problematic when /home is on a
  different partition!
