Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: alsa-utils

During boot /etc/init.d/alsa-utils, or more specifically /etc/rcS.d
/S20alsa-utils, loops forever in:

# Wait for filesystems to show up
while [ ! -d /usr/bin -o ! -d /var/lib/alsa ]; do
    sleep 0.2
done

As my /var is a mount point which has not yet been mounted, it never
gets mounted as the above loop blocks all other startup scripts,
including the mounting of /var. Deadlock.

Should all local FS mounts be mounted earlier, or alsa-utils started
later, I'm not sure. This is a similar problem to one I may have found
in resolvconf not being able to access files on a not yet mounted dir,
so maybe it's the local FSs that should be mounted earlier.
