On a related topic, I was hit by #224754 today where you can't upgrade
 sudo under unionfs (or any package shipping hard links).  That's a very
 serious concern to me (dpkg crashes, kernel oopses, system breaks
 horribly).

 Also, we have a huge issue: all the security / stable updates will eat
 more and more space on the r/w part of the partition...  For example,
 if you upgrade package foo, both the old files and the new files will
 eat space forever (one time compressed in the squashmnt, and one time
 uncompressed in the persistmnt).

 So either we release with unionfs, make the space commitments but run
 into tons of bugs and get a time bomb with upgrades eating space over
 time.  Or we switch to ext3, and probably fail the space commitments,
 but we get better performances and less wasted space.
