Package: ifplugd
Version: 0.28-2
Severity: normal

On shutdown, ifplugd takes down the network before remote filesystems
are unmounted, leading to a long hang in the shutdown process (the unmount
has to time out).

The quick fix is to change the order scripts are run in, i.e. keep the
interfaces up until remote file systems have been unmounted.

For a more complete solution, ifplugd should also handle remote file systems
during normal operation: If the cable is pulled, it should check if any
file servers with mounted file systems became unreachable due to this and
do a lazy/forced unmount of these systems, so that requests onto these
systems can fail instead of hanging.
