I really had to upload this when my hacked ufsutils from freebsd-utils
package broke miserabily ;).

With current versions of sysvinit/e2fsprogs/freebsd-utils, /sbin/fsck is
provided by e2fsprogs.

As said in the fsck manpage, fsck converts -a to -p when passing it to
fsck.ufs. Please investigate this before changing the sysvinit invocation
of fsck. Note that sysvinit's calls to fsck are supposed to be filesystem
independant already.

Sure. You can add it to the glibc-bsd repo if you like, untill we find a
better place (or not).
