Comment(by AlbertCahalan):

 /etc/ssh/* should only be getting filled in once. This could be done at
 Quanta, during activation, or when first needed. The files are quite
 static otherwise, and do have a standard location. Going non-standard
 would not be good.

 A quick hack to stop wtmp and utmp would be to create them as directories,
 either non-empty or with something mounted over them. (I know, I know...
 please stop groaning) I'd say to use the immutable flag on an empty file,
 but JFFS2 doesn't support that.

 Symlink /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts. The normal tools know how to deal with
 this. See the mount(8) man page. Minor issues: loop device usage is less
 convenient and the "user" mount option will fail.
