This patch is a very simple one, just changing multipath friendly names from
mpath[0-9] to mpath[a-z]. And another change is the change in file path for the
bindings file.
For inclusion of this patch, it looks clean to me.
But I'm not sure if this patch alone can enable multipathing support in the
Debian Installer. Cyril and Mathieu have mentioned in this bug report that more
work is needed to get it working.
I don't think D-I has ever, before, had multipathing support. So if we were to
add it, I'd recommend we keep it inline with the standard settings.
I just now, again, checked the defaults in multipath, and user_friendly_name is
set to off, by default. So, if we are using friendly names in D-I, then we'll
have 2 files to take care of, multipath.conf and bindings file.
