As you convincingly remarked below, we may want honor `test -f /forcecheck'
for every filesystem, whose `fsck' supports `-f' option. As far as I
follow the thread, it is:

	ext2 ext3 ext4 reiserfs

But I really want to have some transition plan to get rid of
/forcecheck, something like:

 * buster+1: big deprecation warning
 * buster+2: /forcecheck is ignored, big warning is printed
 * buster+3: /forcecheck is ignored silently.

It is 6 years plan, oh. But I do not know how to move things gracefully
and /fast/.
