/ is in fstab, but in a generic form. If you add a specific one, you easily 
start duplicating wic. It's a chicken-egg thing: You need the information during 
package installation, but you only have it after imaging.

BTW, there is enable-fsck for partially the same reason (there other is that you 
do want to control whether fsck is run in embedded scenarios).
