The shutdown man page says if you use -f it will skip fsck on the reboot.
Whether that works when you've halted it, I dunno.... and I haven't tested
that, the man page was at my workstation which isn't debian, it's SuSE.
Still, if the debian shutdown doesn't have this feature, it should. If this
is how you normally handle your system though, occasionally shutting down with
-F (force fsck) would be wise; you don't want drive corruption.
Journaling FS and real hibernation, how well do those work together so far?
I'm not quite willing to submit my laptop to alpha journaling code...
