Alright, good to know.

Ok, I thought Debian Edu was special in that regard. Then I honestly
to expect any problems with autofs to arise in Debian Edu.

According to my observations at our department - being a heavy autofs
user - the problem does only occur when not using the default
installation which involves not using systemd and an alternative
init system plus cgmanager.

Then we'll leave it to the maintainers and users of alternative
init systems to take care of this particular problem. Moreover,
they should take care of fixing the bug in cgmanager.

Cheers,
Adrian
