Actually it's not so difficult, as long as the following condition holds: filesystems that are mounted before handing over to the init system have been checked before. Since initramfs-tools are now responsible for checking partitions that are mounted prior to init, duplicate fsck's from sysvinit and systemd should be consequently avoided. Root partition checking could be disabled in /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh and systemd-fsck-root.service should be masked. For all other partitions the fsck tool has the option "-M" to ignore mounted file systems. It could be applied to /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh and systemd-fsck internally.
