Package: multipath-tools Version: 0.4.7-2+b1 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
kpartx can be used standalone, e.g. to set up partitions from a backup-image of a harddisk. I think this is a very useful tool in some cases. But the description of this package does not give any hint. So please consider adding at least an extra line to the description. Since multipath-tools also includes and usually starts a daemon which is started on boot you should even consider splitting kpartx into a seperate package. Having an image of a whole disk is IMHO more common than having a multipath setup.
