Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mountall

For very valid reasons, mountall always waits on /usr/* and /var/*
remote filesystems.

That said, /var/opt/* are valid FHS filesystems that are not vital to
the system. In order to not get the boot stuck on such remote
filesystems, we tried using the "nobootwait" flag, but it is ignored on
/usr/* and /var/* remote filesystems. This is believed to be a bug,
since this behaviour should be possible to be forced.

In general, it would also be a good idea to make /var/opt/* filesystems
default to TAG_NOWAIT since they are not vital to the system.
