Hi everyone,

(if you don't want to get Cc-ed any longer please let me know, just
trying to involve everyone and get some traction)

Maks, sadly still no reply from your side yet :(

If we want to see this issue resolved for jessie we need to get this
forward soonish. So is there anyone else who has tested my package
and can confirm that the issue is resolved by it?

Michael Biebl, you also wrote:

This sounds good to me, is there any chance that either you, Roger
Leigh or someone else would be willing to provide the according
patchset (without the /etc-mount feature) rebased against our
current git master and possibly while at it also take care of
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=652459#89 ?
If so please ping me (either by mail, IRC or at DebConf), any help
is really appreciated.

Thanks everyone && regards,
