Sorry, I must have been blind :-P
The wiki actually explains that $remote_fs implies $local_fs so 
specifying is not necessary. As a lot of people will copy&paste existing 
solutions though, maybe it would be a good idea to fix the existing init 
scripts with "$local_fs $remote_fs".
Do you think it would be possible to write a lintian test which covers 
such common errors.

Cheers,
Michael
