Comment 6 for bug 257568

I have looked into providing a timeout for this prompt, however the extraordinarily limited ash shell in busybox makes this very difficult.

Something like this seems to work well in bash/dash/ash, however, it does not work properly in busybox.

                        # Set a 15-second timeout for this question
                        trap : USR1
                        (sleep 15 && kill -USR1 "$$" 2>/dev/null) & pid=$!
                        read -p "Do you wish to boot the degraded RAID? [y/N]: " -r BOOT_DEGRADED
                        kill "$pid" 2> /dev/null

In any case, perhaps this is a nice-to-have, but does not have to be part of this commit.

I've tested the above debdiff and I'm satisfied with it. Requesting sponsorship.
