Nowadays (in jessie and onwards), the / (and /usr) file system is fscked by the initramfs. I don't have a system without an initramfs, where systemd-fsck-root.service is still used. The Debian provided kernels do all use an initramfs. So I'm not sure if this is still an issue today. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
