They may have a better solution in mind and just didn't have time to
implement it. ;-)

In case I wasn't completely clear, Mark's diff, the one committed in
3.14-4 version, only silences the error messages, but doesn't solve the
issue. (My last diff assumes that the checks have already been
removed.)

Since the fsck logs performed by the init scripts are already shown in
/var/log/boot, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to remove all that "lame
leg dance" from /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh and /lib/init/mount-functions.sh.
