I would certainly welcome it if we had better tooling options around this,
but that's really out of scope for a bug report against mountall, which is
already using the existing interfaces as designed.  That would be better
discussed on the ubuntu-devel mailing list.

Well, without a reproducible scenario where mountall actually stalls in this
way, we'd be working in the dark here.  And missing upstart jobs is not at
all a common failure scenario.
