Building a system image using multistrap,
including generating an initial ramdisk,
worked fine recently.

Now it fails with this error message:

  W: Couldn't identify type of root file system for fsck hook

It seems to me that git commit a8ed874 intended to extend the code
operating on "auto" mounted filesystems to cover all _except_ root disk,
but that the logic is flipped around so that now it _only_ extends that
to include root disk:

- -               case "$MNT_TYPE" in
- -                       auto)
[...]
+               # Ignore filesystem type for /, as it is not available and
+               # therefore never used at boot time
+               if [ "${MNT_DIR}" = "/" ] || [ "${MNT_TYPE}" = "auto" ]; then
