Bug#1004292: debian-installer:s390x: installer fails to format dasd disc on s390x systems
Hi Cyril,
This is the only
fix I have for s390-dasd and we can release the package to unstable. This
is good for back-porting to bullseye as well. However, I am still testing
the installer and more bugs/fixes are on their way for s390 installer packages.
I am new to this
but I am committed to supporting s390x moving forward. So I would like
to know how I should ideally move forward with this fix. May be through
the package update and sponsorship path?
Thanks,

Thanks for the proposed fix and the verification. Do you have anything
else s390x/dasd related? Or can we commit this fix, release the package
to unstable and consider backporting it to bullseye?
