I like that idea; it's much cleaner, and avoids any new configuration
settings (which are really hard to explain to a user, and honestly,
this would just be an "unbreak my system" switch).

I'd just like it to be /run/initramfs/fsck/$name, or
/run/initramfs/fsck-$name, to avoid potential clashes with other flag
files and point out that this comes from initramfs.

Thanks,

Martin
