Title:
  utils-linux 2.36.1 breaks user mounts (cifs)

Status in Util-Linux-ng:
  Fix Released
Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in util-linux package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  I'm working on merging samba from Debian (2:4.13.2+dfsg-1), and while
  running the autopkgtests for the package I noticed that two tests are
  failing.  These tests attempt to invoke mount.cifs in order to mount a
  user mount point.  I investigated and found this on dmesg:

  [   53.586709] CIFS: Attempting to mount //localhost/myshare1760
  [   53.586735] CIFS: Unknown mount option "symfollow"

  After some more investigation, I noticed that there are both a Debian
  and an upstream bug reported about this failure, and that upstream has
  fixed it in util-linux 2.36.2.

  I would be nice to have this version in hirsute so that cifs user
  mounts can work again.
