I see you already have a bug report, so including it for the list:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758808

(Also for reference, your older bug report, where you first saw this issue, 
indicates that this might have arisen between systemd 204-14 and systemd 208-6:

It looks to me like it's not fsck as much as not being able to access 
/boot, /home and swap.  If you want to check this, you can probably tell systemd
not to run fsck at boot.  (How to do this was the topic of some recent threads
on debian-user, but I didn't follow them so I can't help with that.)

I wonder if the problem is with decryption (under systemd), which then leads 
to the timeout when accessing everything inside it?  Unfortunately, I don't 
know enough to suggest a good way to test this.
