My system was configured to use tmpfs for /var/log, /var/log/apt and
/var/tmp before upgrading to karmic. On the first boot after the upgrade
the message "waiting for tmpfs" was reported for /var/log/apt. Disabling
the entries for /var/log/apt and /var/tmp allowed for an uninterrupted
boot. Still /var/log was mounted as tmpfs! Today I changed /etc/fstab to
also mount /var/tmp as tmpfs, which also works.

This is the current /etc/fstab I use:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=f1698a06-f89d-4438-a887-a4205ae1f8bf /               ext2    
noatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=efc9ca27-b198-4827-a223-68248ad3d7bb none            swap    sw            
  0       0
#tmpfs          /var/log/apt    tmpfs   defaults        0       0
tmpfs           /var/log        tmpfs   defaults        0       0
tmpfs           /tmp            tmpfs   defaults        0       0
tmpfs           /var/tmp        tmpfs   defaults        0       0

mountall-Version is 1.0

The only difference I see to the original bug description are the
missing options. In a second try, I inactivated the /var/tmp mount and
added options to the /var/log mount:

tmpfs           /var/log        tmpfs
defaults,noatime,size=50%,mode=1777        0       0

Still the system boots uninterrupted and /var/log is mounted as tmpfs
(as shown by mount).

Conclusion: I can't reproduce the bug given the original description.

Thanks.
