Strange to me too. Here is the required info:

$ dpkg -S =mount
dpkg: *=mount* not found.

$ dpkg -S mount
ncpfs: /usr/bin/ncpumount
smbfs: /usr/share/man/man8/smbmount.8.gz
os-prober: /usr/lib/linux-boot-probes/mounted
[...to much hits...]

$ mount --version
mount: mount-2.12r

$ apt-cache policy mount
mount:
  Installed: 2.12r-16
  Candidate: 2.12r-16

$ apt-cache policy loop-aes-utils
loop-aes-utils:
  Installed: 2.12r-15
  Candidate: 2.12r-15

$ sudo mount -o loop grml_small_0.3.iso /mnt/os2/

$ mount | grep os2
/dev/loop2 on /mnt/os2 type iso9660 (ro)

$ sudo umount /mnt/os2/

$ ps -e | grep loop
32721 ?        00:00:00 loop0
