Here is Paulo's bug report in launchpad, for reference:

 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/599555

He's essentially requesting a non-trivial new feature for the plymouth text
theme.  We aren't going to just echo fsck output to the terminal - this
would be an unreadable mess because disks are fscked in parallel.

Paulo hasn't acknowledged my reply to his bug report, so I don't see why
he's repeating the same questions here.
