Bug Description

Instead of starting the computer and unexpectedly having ubuntu scan your filesystem because it has been mounted an X amount of time, a message should pop up at the login of the next admin user asking that user if they would like to scan the filesystem at the next boot. If the filesystem has been unmounted properly (ex: power failure) retain the original behaviour

I've changed the affected source to util-linux, as the policy for fsck is defined in /etc/fstab, which is part od mount package, which is sourced from util-linux. Since this behavior is the policy and thus intended and not a real bug, I think your should make your suggestion at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com also.
