Yeah, need to finish that, though.  Anyway, I am not sure if that is really
a requirement for the port.  Debian never was ported to a system that embeds
such information directly into the filesystem, so it is no wonder that it
doesn't support that right now, but it is clearly superior to setting it at
every boot (reducing start up time).

Thanks,
Marcus
