I can find no evidence of any attempt to prevent FAT filesystems from being checked on boot.

Also from investigation, there's no way to exclude FAT filesystems from the boot check. The filesystem list is inclusive, so to disable FAT, we have to list the filesystem types we do want to check and omit FAT from that list.

That is just too error-prone to consider.

Will revisit for edgy+1 when we do fsck-on-block-device-add rather than "fsck -a"
