Bug#772425: systemd does not allow to skip an ongoing fsck during boot

[Eduardo Nogueira]

Package: systemd
Version: 215
Severity: wishlist

With init, Debian users could skip an ongoing fsck during boot by pressing
Ctl-c. With systemd this ability has been removed. Ctl-c does not work. Pressing
Ctl-Alt-Del or the power button results in the system being hang. The lacks of
this feature has been shown to be of importance for Debian users on the mailing
list:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2014/12/msg00184.html

And has been on the TODO list of systemd developers for more than three years
now:

I am using Debian GNU/Linux jessie, Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64.
