Realistically, it's too late to do anything about Jaunty (9.04), and the
mechanism used on the live CDs for union mounts is supposed to be
changing in Karmic (9.10), so I guess there's no point in incorporating
the current patch as it stands. Once the new system is in place I'll try
to adapt the patch and get it incorporated before release ..

If you know anybody at that project, feel free to point them here! It's
worth noting that, if you use ext3 for the casper-rw file, this bug
doesn't seem to cause data loss in practice, but even so it seems a bit
cavalier not to umount the users filesystem before shutting down!
