I hope this works out for a proper bugreport as intended.

Busybox utilities have their limitations. For instance, I had to create mount/umount UDEBs
because the d-i busybox equivalents would fail on Reiser4 SFRN4/SFRN5 file systems when
installing Debian.

< https://metztli.blog/media/blogs/calli/Bullseye-SFRN5/xonecuiltzin-5.13.19-reizer4-sfrn-5.1.3.mp4?mtime=1636642043 >

Accordingly, probably including an lsblk UDEB in d-i would likely be more adequate, i.e.,
the last two(2) UDEBs -- which already exist -- are required for lsblk in d-i:


I still fail to see how one can include something which does not exist.

Once again: lsblk busybox applet is not written, it should be written
before it is possible to include it.

I'm closing this bugreport now, as there's no reason to keep it open.
