I copied the "bg" logic straight from util-linux, then simplified it. 
Using daemon() instead of fork() seems like a nice clean-up anyway. 
(It's just me, but I like a blank between the first and second argument 
of daemon() -- that matches the coding style in the rest of that file).

Steinar, it's not clear to me from the Debian bug report whether this is 
really a mount bug or an init scripts bug.  I assume this is something 
that did not work correctly for the legacy util-linux mount command either?
