Hmm, shouldn't we rather remove the over-loading of the fstype in
util-linux instead of adding that to systemd.

It's really an *option* like we have noauto for, and not at all
related to a *type*. And what would such an entry be good for,
magically fall back to type == auto ?

To me, that "trick" looks really like a pretty bad idea from the start on.
