I wonder what Canonical tells its customers who purchased commercial support for Ubuntu in case they discover this bug?

Something like:

"sorry, we have done our best to hide such frightening messages from our customers. Unfortunately the nasty community has retrieved and disclosed it."

We have set up plymouth to hide the messages behind a puple splash screen with walking dots and taken provisions, so a normal user won't be able to uninstall plymouth (see Bug #556372). We have switched-off the usual logging from fsck-runs in /var/log/fsck/checkroot and /var/log/fsck/checkfs (see Bug #568594). We have set up the boot process to perform a filesystem check for / at every boot, regaredless what the user specifies in /etc/fstab column #6 (see Bug #568594).

Ubuntu firmly relies on 'fsck' as a proven and reliable tool to iron out those minor glitches when your filesystem gets corrupted or marked dirty on shutdown. Moreover we always point out: Ubuntu is not Debian!
