Bug#551992: general: stopping squeeze chroot shuts system

[Stephen Stafford <clothcat@gmail.com>]

> In a lenny chroot, on the same system, rc6.d/S90reboot calls 'reboot -d -f

Your script only calls all K* scripts (not S* scripts) when stop is
invoked.  Hence in the system where reboot is S90, it won't call it.
Where it's K09, it will be called.  I suspect if you rm K09reboot in
the squeeze chroot, it will fix the behaviour to what you want.

As far as rebooting from inside a chroot rebooting the system I don;t
know whether that's a bug or not.  As far as I'm aware it has been the
way it's behaved for a long while...not sure what you can do to
prevent it even...
