[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#901289: Drop the `logsave` requirement in `/etc/init.d/checkfs.sh`.

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-59.10

The current version used `logsave` to save `fsck` results.
When `logsave` is not present, the script will fail regardless of the actual FS state.
/etc/init.d/checkfs.sh line 101 and 121:
logsave -s $FSCK_LOGFILE fsck $spinner -M -A $fix $force $FSCKTYPES_OPT
`logsave` is a part of `e2fsprogs`. If I do not use EXT filesystems (I use JFS on my PC) I can purge this package.

My suggestion:
1. Do not use `logsave`. The process is not there in previous versions.or:
2. If `logsave` is not found just check the FS without using `logsave`.
