Comment 8 for bug 513644

Tristan, I agree with you, but unfortunately would have to recommend using Debian instead of Ubuntu for server applications. Not only was this bug the result of an oversight in switching to mountall, mountall itself made the system less admin-friendly by doing away with several boot-time shell scripts (which could be inspected and directly edited as necessary), in favor of a better consumer desktop startup experience. Server usage in general is an afterthought here.
