Here's a slightly revised patch (the one before didn't actually call
dh_installdebconf)

+Type: note
+_Description: Filesystem entries with noauto and non-zero pass number
+ It appears that /etc/fstab contains at least one entry that is marked as
+ "noauto" with a non-zero pass number (meaning that the file system should not
+ be automatically mounted upon boot, yet should be checked by fsck, the
+ file system check utility).
+ .
+ From this release onwards, fsck will fail for file systems that have a
+ non-zero pass number and are not available (eg. because they are unplugged)
+ at the time fsck runs. This will cause the system to enter file system
+ repair mode during boot.
+ .
+ To avoid this problem, please adjust such fstab entries for removable
+ devices, by either setting their pass number to zero, or adding the "nofail"
+ option. For more details, please see mount(8).
