I do not agree with this way of doing it because now it has implicitly 
become a request for the maintainer of vlock to provide such a udeb, who 
is unlikely to have the skills to provide it.

IMO a BR against vlock should only have been created *after* someone who 
has sufficient knowledge of D-I has created a proper patch for vlock and 
*after* such a patch has been tested and reviewed by the D-I team.

vlock is also maybe only one possible way of implementing the feature. 
There could be others.

I would prefer that the BR against vlock be closed for now. The maintainer 
of vlock should IMO not have this on his wishlist. The feature request is 
for D-I, not for vlock. It is sufficiently documented with this BR.
