Thierry,  
I am not sure i understand your message. 
 It sounds as you actually want fsck to check journalled drives, while, in my 
experience, the 
journal update at mount is much safer than fsck (which doesn't use the journal to 
restore, but just 
fixes incorrect stuff, which usually means: deletes incorrect stuff).

Many people are tempted to press "Y" after an unclean shutdown so that (according to 
message) 
filesystem gets checked. But for ext3 this runs fsck, which has a big chance of 
destroying files 
(somehow, it seems that it destroys more on ext3 than on ext2).  
please: 
- remove the message altogether from rc.sysinit for journalling fs (an expert can 
still 
do it manually, if for some reason it is wanted) 
- make the check sound like a bad idea.
