The control for this is in /etc/default/rcS with the FSCKFIX
variable. If it is set to no then no fix happens. If it is set to
yes then at boot time fsck is enabled to automatically fix what it
can.
In /etc/default/rcS file:
FSCKFIX=yes
Note that if it is set to no on a remote server that you do not have
console access to then it is possible to get into a state where the
machine will not reboot on its own because it will be waiting for
console access to get past the fsck questions.
These are documented in the rcS man page.
$ man rcS
FSCKFIX
When the root and all other file systems are checked,
fsck is invoked with the -a option which means
"autorepair". If there are major inconsistencies then
the fsck process will bail out. The system will print a
message asking the administrator to repair the file
system manually and will present a root shell prompt
(actually a sulogin prompt) on the console. Setting
this option to yes causes the fsck commands to be run
with the -y option instead of the -a option. This will
tell fsck always to repair the file systems without
asking for permission.

A good diagnosis! But I would still look to be sure. :-)
