There are other bugs that sometimes cause an unclean shutdown, this one
is pretty well understood and fixed. Maybe you have some other services,
like  mysql, or portmap, that are causing this problem.

Bug description:
  On a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04.1, after upgrading the offer libc6
  upgrade, on the next reboot the root fs can't be properly unmounted
  (mount: / is busy). This causes fsck to run on boot and of course some
  minor issues with the filesystem. This might not be a problem with
  libc6 itself, but a side effect of upgrading in combination with some
  other package (I suspect the init process, so I guess upstart).

  The fsck run, and the orphaned inodes it finds are holding me back
  from installing this on a new server - especially since this already
  happens on a clean install of 10.04.1!
