It took me three days to identify that a missing loopback line in
/etc/network/interfaces was hanging the boot process. The OMGBroken doc
is not helpful since upstart doesn't report anything interesting. Even
after instrumenting upstart I still don't know what process chokes on
the loopback interface; it's not easy to debug upstart.

The failure is completely silent. At the very least, a message could be
printed if no loopback interface is present.


** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Incomplete
