That looks reasonable. If this is the goal we think is a good
idea, then I think (for me, using etch and casper) I'll just make a
hook. I can make that file, or remove the link to checkfs.sh in /etc/
rcS.d. Unless someone else proposes some other fix so I won't have
to do it manually, but as I'm working in stable, I'm not guessing
so. :-)
