-- bug description
Do not have any output since it occurs during boot proccess.
The /lib/init/usplash-fsck-functions.sh rechechs line 169:
However the wait have no job to wait for though fail into fake maintainance login.
When finnish the maintainance, and exit a reboot is preformed.
But after rebood I get the same fake maintainance login.

The follow patch is bypass to the problem.
It allow to run system normally. However it does not fix the problem.
Why is the fsck does not run, and why is the wait does not have job 1 (%1).
And why is there no check for the job being running before trying to wait for it!
