I did read this, and I'm happy progress is being made. However, the
default is still currently wrong in unstable, and the fix is a simple
change to configure in debian/rules. If Bastian's work isn't ready
for etch, it will still be broken in etch.

The way I saw it, Bastian's work will make the ownership and
permissions configurable, which is great. However, the /defaults/,
which my patch addresses, still need fixing, and there is no reason to
delay fixing that.

The other outstanding issue is devmapper in stable, which is broken in
exactly the same way. I'd like to submit the same patch to
Joey for inclusion in sarge r2.

Bastian, are you okay if I do that?
Many thanks,
