Sounds like he's not using 4.0.1-11 or later.

Subject: Problem on installation of xfs

Hello,
I get a problem while dist-upgrading to the latest unstable. When the
new xfs version is installed, but still not configured (i.e. the init
script is not replaced) and the system is beeing rebooted in the
meantime, it will hang while booting! The reason is the new behaviour of
xfs, which doesn't fork by default and the old script doesn't send it in
the background. Since dpkg replaces old file on installation, but init
scripts, I suggest to install the new xfs binary with an other filename,
then create a symlink to .../bin/xfs while the configuration.
Gr{us,eeting}s,
Eduard.
