The idea at the time was to not have library lists their dependencies
via 'mount' in order to avoid double mounts with different options.
Originally a 'depends' element was planned, but nothing ever grew out of
it. Anyway, I also vaguely remember some discussions with regards to
double mounts, but I am not sure about details anymore and especially
not if the discussion was followed by someone implementing the necessary
changes...
