New Revision: 896

Log:
   * Add new NEWS entry with a better shell fragment for recovering
     from the update-rc.d problem.  Add script
     /usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/update-rc.d-recover to make it easier for
     people to recover from problems introduced in versions 2.86.ds1-16
     and 2.86.ds1-17.(Closes: #386649)
   * Rewrite checkroot.sh to not use lazy umount and a private tmpfs,
     and keep the tmpfs mounted on /tmp/ as long as checkroot.sh need
     it.  It seem that fsck did not like relative device paths.
     (Closes: #386347, #386699)
   * LSB header updates:
     - umountfs should execute before umountroot, not before halt or
       reboot.
     - umountroot should stop in runlevel 0 and 6, and execute before
       halt or reboot.
