Did you test this change?  I suspect it will break the boot system.

I am pretty sure the initscripts scripts should not have more
dependencies on $remote_fs, and that the lintian check do not apply
here.  The init.d scripts in initscripts are the framework for the
other script to build upon, and the general rules often do not appyl.
