Yep.

I should have mentioned that I've started this thread while working on
updating this patch, sorry for that.

As agreed during a quick conversation on IRC (also with the maintainer),
I'm going to work on getting that library in a reasonable shape, so that
we are ready when 0.5.12 gets uploaded (which is blocked by util-linux,
e2fsprogs, udev, etc. see #528830). Which means I'm cheating with the
locally-hacked libvolume-id library for now, and that we'll only have to
do some bits of porting for libblkid by then.
Mraw,
KiBi.
