I've found some time to confirm for myself that this patch fixes the problem of not being able to set the RAID flag in partman. I've tweaked the patch slighly to tighten it up; the final version is attached.
I'll upload this NMU to incoming shortly. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.debian.org/
