[PATCH] partman mount.d scripts and mount options

I've been trying to work out why partman doesn't honour mount options while mounting partitions during installation. I'm trying to write a partman-loop udeb, and so having it honour -o loop would be rather useful. The best explanation I've found is:

partman-basicfilesystems (4) never released; urgency=low

[...]

Removed "-o $options" for the mount-command in mount.d/basic. Otherwise the ro flag would mount read-only... [...]

I can't think of any other flags that might be harmful during installation. What do folks think about the attached patch?
