Not that I know of.

Yeah, it managed to persist after the dist-upgrade.

After a bit more digging in /etc/init, I realized that some of
mountall's /etc/init/mountall*.conf files were missing.  A normal "dpkg
-i" did not restore them, but adding  --force-confnew did, after which,
it seems to boot OK.

I do think there's still a bit of a bug here in mountall.  Granted, there was 
something wrong (most recently missing conffiles) that caused a failure.  But, 
mountall failed in a pretty bad way:
1. Indefinite, permanent boot hang, had to use init=/bin/bash to recover
2. Didn't accept user input
3. No messages about what was going on

Seems like we could do better than that, even booting in to a crippled
environment like I did by hacking the 90s in instead of
NIH_DBUS_TIMEOUT_NEVER would be vastly superior to what we've got at the
moment.
