Hi, Elimar.

So, are you suggesting that this shutdown function (-F, for forcing fsck 
at boot) is available with the shutdown command if I switch from 
systemd-sysv to sysvinit, or that it is available regardless of init 
system in Sid?

I have had 2 cups of coffee, but I'm still a little fuzzy on what you 
might be suggesting.

Help an old guy out?
