[Bug 599555] Re: no fsck progress displayed when booting without 'splash'

Rants aside, I'm willing to look at the sources again and send a diff to
support /etc/defaults/rcS line.  We already change files all over the
place for ubuntu - another option is no big deal.  It's only two lines
of C code so if someone is willing to put it in to shut us up, let me
know.  :-)

Title:
  no fsck progress displayed when booting without 'splash'

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  Hi!

  Since Ubuntu 10.04 i don't know what is going on with Fsck

  Since no versions of Ubuntu splash screens provides options (like from
  keyboard) to switch them into tty, i simply disabled it with
  StartupManager - and as well, i kept this way during 3 years.

  At Ubuntu 9.10 i used to have Fsck showing decently a tty progressbar,
  with a percent (or per-ten-thousand) numeric value of the Fsck
  progress, and this simply disapeared from Ubuntu 10.04, just looking
  like Fsck hanged or crashed somewhere - so, as you all can imagine, i
  always forced restart or shutdown, providing serious risks on damaging
  the hard disk.

  When we are booting GNU/Linux (like Ubuntu), only using tty (as i like
  to use), it's very important seeing a displayed info updated at least
  once per second, and when running Fsck on Ubuntu 9.10, we have this,
  what is hugelly important - on Ubuntu 10.04, it simply disapeared.

  Or maybe i should edit some config file somewhere to bring it back -
  do someone know where is it?

  thanks and regards,
  Paulo
