* Add a slash to the end of $MODULE_DIR, as expected by depmod. (Not
that running depmod from the command line is all that useful, since
you can't use it to update the tree in the Nix store. But at least
commands like "depmod -n" work now.) Reported by Kirill Elagin on
IRC.

The VirtualBox build in Nixpkgs is insecure because it uses the
"--disable-hardened" flag, which disables some checks in the
VirtualBox kernel module. Since getting rid of that flag looks like
too much work, it's better to ensure that only explicitly permitted
users have access to VirtualBox.
* Drop the 666 permission on "sonypi" because it's not clear why that
device should be world-writable.

USR1 signal before it has forked into the background (because it
will be in the start/running state immediately).

monitor the postgres process directly (so that it can be restarted
if necessary), let Upstart send SIGTERM to postgres to shut it down
gracefully. Also drop the Mediawiki references.

wasn't sourced in a parent shell (as determined by the environment
variable __ETC_PROFILE_DONE). This prevents overriden values of
environment variables such as $PATH from being clobbered in
subshells.
* Move all aliases to /etc/bashrc (since those are for interactive
use).

slow: calling basename in a loop somewhere has a noticable impact on
performance. We really shouldn't use bash scripts.

were redirecting output to /var/log/upstart/<job>, so it didn't work
properly.
* mountall-ip-up: send the USR1 signal to the mountall process by
looking up its PID, rather than doing "pkill -USR1 mountall". This
prevents a very subtle race condition where USR1 is delivered to a
child process of mountall (such as fsck), if pkill sees the child
just before its execve(). There is actually still a race condition
because mountall installs its USR1 handler *after* daemonising, so
mountall-ip-up could accidentally kill mountall. Should report this
to upstream.

The patch is currently being discussed on LKML and hopefully will be included
in mainline in some form in the future. Note that booting from the livecd has
to do a lot of work before anything is output to the console, so if the drive
is still busy don't assume the boot has hanged

It needs udevd to be running because the modules may require
firmware. Thanks to Mathijs and Arie for pointing this out.
