Dear Maintainer,

When adding "debug" to the kernel commandline debug output is turned on and is
very useful for debugging.  However, none of the scripts (eg. local-premount/resume)
recognize the debug variable to turn on tracing as in init. I simply added the
line "[ -n "${debug}" ] && set -x" as the first line in local-premount/resume
and now I get debug logging when the debug kernel parameter is added.  This line
should be added to all scripts, or at least the scripts run by "run_parts".

Glenn
