A few more questions regarding multipath support in the
debian-installer:

 * Are you going to support this in the future?

   I am unsure if there is anyone having the necessary hardware to
   ensure that multipath is working correctly in the future.  So I would
   feel a lot more comfortable in adding multipath support to d-i if you
   are willing to maintain it. :)

 * Could installations on multipath be emulated?

   Is there any way to emulate an installation on multipath using
   qemu, virtualbox or a similar tool?  waldi told me that dm-linear was
   one of the way to do so but I don't know how it would interact with
   d-i.

 * Could you provide us with a test image?

   I'd like to have a feeling about the necessary steps to configure
   multipath.  Could you provide us with a test image with your current
   achievements (especially if the above is true!).

As a last notice, for complete support, we will also need an update of
the installer manual (and the appendix about preseeding).

Cheers,
