I've attached a diff against current svn for sysvinit_2.88dsf-13.6.

This is quite a small patch
- reverts relative symlinks back to absolute to comply with debian
  policy
- fixes a typo and placement of return in mount-functions.sh
- remounts filesystems only after mtab becomes writable

If it's OK with you, I would like to upload this to unstable now
that initramfs-tools_0.99 went in today, which was a prequisite for
full udev support.

If you would prefer to do this as a proper maintainer upload, that's
also fine.


Many thanks,
Roger
