No, I just didn't think to look for other RC bugs.

Just to make sure you're clear about what's changing: most of the bugs
fixed in 0.119 were regressions in 0.117 that do not currently affect
testing. So, ignoring those, the key changes from 0.116 to 0.119 are:
* Mount /usr if present in the /etc/fstab on the mounted rootfs
(Closes: #652459)
* init: Only mount /usr if the real init is systemd
* Check filesystems prior to mounting (Closes: #708000)
* local: Call local-block boot scripts to prepare additional block devices
All the above changes should reduce the risk of regressions when
switching to systemd and using a separate /usr. (Not that we don't have
any problems with initscripts and a separate /usr, but I think systemd
manages to be more aggressive in parallelising boot.)
* local: Invoke local-block scripts from the loop in local_device_setup
(Closes: #678696)
Together with the lvm2 change and earlier changes to cryptsetup, this
fixes a longstanding limitation in device discovery that made boot
unreliable for configurations such as LVM or LUKS on USB storage.
* hook-functions: Add modules for various important device types
(Closes: #762042)
This is needed for booting on some ARM platforms.
