/etc/init.d/checkroot.sh does it, but checkroot.sh is disabled by lxc-debian template [1]

…
# If possible, migrate /etc/mtab to be a symlink to
        # /proc/mounts.  Note that not all systems e.g. Hurd currently
        # support this.
        if [ "$rootmode" != "ro" ]; then
                mtab_migrate
        fi
...
