Hi,

After debugging this a bit, I came to the conclusion that locale isn't
yet set when mountall is called. Thus mountall runs with LANG=C and
doesn't display translated messages.

The attached patch to /etc/init/mount/mountall.conf fixes the problem here. 
I've taken a few lines from /etc/init/kdm.conf that source the appropriate 
files and then export LANG and LANGUAGE.
It may not be the best solution (in which case please give us a better one :)), 
but it works.

Once this is fixed in maverick, I think fixing it in lucid could be
worth it: it's a trivial patch but it's very important for some kind of
users.
