I suggest also including umountfs, sendsigs, and umountnfs.sh in this list
to cover all the cases.

Also, the exact sequence numbers will be different depending on what else
was installed.

So a complete workaround would be (untested):

 mv /etc/rc6.d/S*reboot /etc/rc6.d/S90reboot
 mv /etc/rc6.d/S*umountroot /etc/rc6.d/S60umountroot
 mv /etc/rc6.d/S*umountnfs.sh /etc/rc6.d/S31umountnfs.sh
 mv /etc/rc6.d/S*umountfs /etc/rc6.d/S40umountfs
 mv /etc/rc6.d/S*sendsigs /etc/rc6.d/S20sendsigs

Bug description:
  I had the exact same issue documented as
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/807306
  on upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. Opening new bug as req.

  Removing the existing /var/run and /var/run/lock and replacing with
  sym links as per comment 76 there fixed it.

  The impact of this was a total lack of system (wireless) networking
  coming up - this gives a >! minute pause during boot, as well as a
  subsequent total failure to be able to log into X (KDE or GNOME
  sessions give a cryptic error related to DBUS).

  I've just run an apt-get update/upgrade after *finally* getting back
  into my new 11.10 beta 2 system, and no updates to the mountall show
  up... therefore I assume this bug is still present.
