The man page is wrong.  Even in the old days this was incorrect; you
just wanted the passno to be different for different filesystems on the
same disk so they would not be checked at the same time and slow each
other down.  Ubuntu uses mountall these days, which treats all non zero
values equally; it uses zero to disable fsck, and otherwise uses a smart
heuristic to fsck one filesystem on each physical disk at a time.
