Thanks alo21 for this fix!

However, we tend to not directly patch the upstream files for that, but
rather using a patch against it. Please read
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems and provide a patch
against that file (and report it to debian/upstream as well ;)).

Thanks again for your work there, asking to unsuscribe the sponsoring
team meanwhile.

Title:
  Manpage for mount list different options in same paragraph (keybits,
  nofail, iversion)

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “util-linux” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  man mount shows under section 'FILESYSTEM INDEPENDENT MOUNT OPTIONS' :

         keybits
                Specifies the key size to use for an encryption algorithm.  Used
                in  conjunction with the loop and encryption options.  nofail Do
                not report errors for this device if it does not  exist.   iver-
                sion  Every time the inode is modified, the i_version field will
                be incremented.

  
  The nofail and iversion options should be their own options, not a continuation of 'keybits'.
