Bug#551992: general: stopping squeeze chroot shuts system

In a lenny chroot, on the same system, rc6.d/S90reboot calls 'reboot -d -f
i' and that works like I'd expect; the chroot is stopped and the system
keeps on running.
In the squeeze chroot we have rc6.d/K09reboot and the same 'reboot -d -f -i'.

I will check if the -f does the trick but I still think the behaviour
should be the same for both lenny and squeeze. I also think that the
ability to reboot a system by rebooting a chrooted environment shouldn't
be possible so the bug remains.

According xen or kvm; eventually we will make that change of course, but
at the moment that's not something we're focussing.
