Bug#1073979: Please consider enabling the dm-clone module (CONFIG_DM_CLONE)

[Rob Leslie <rob@mars.org>]

Package: src:linux
Version: 6.1.90-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /boot/config-6.1.0-21-amd64

Dear Maintainer,

The dm-clone module is not included in the default Debian kernel. This, like
dm-cache, is a useful module and it is unfortunate that a custom kernel must
be built to obtain it.

Please consider enabling this module (CONFIG_DM_CLONE=m) in future Debian
kernels.

Thank you.
