Bug#758902: wishlist?

I don't generally like adding "me too"s, but in this case I can't
resist.  Today I went to give a public presentation using my
up-to-date Debian Jessie laptop.  I booted the system with just
minutes before the talk was due to start, only to find that this was
the magical 30th boot where fsck is forced.  Without any way to abort
the check, which takes ~10min on my HDD, I had no choice but to run
from room to room begging for another laptop.

While I understand the necessity of regular fscks, occasionally one
needs to boot a system _now_: having an option to delay the check is
certainly more than "wishlist" severity in these situations!

Cheers,
Tim
