sudo reboot doesn't unmount the system drive cleanly enough? Then I'd
call it a bug.
And my wheezy kernel is
gene@coyote:/$ uname -a
Linux coyote 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1+deb8u1~bpo70+1
(2017-02-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Which is not pinned and the machine is updated about 2x a week.
